I am currently a second year BA student at University of Toronto with major in Architecture and possibly math/environmental sciences.
I transferred after 1st year of B.Arch program when I moved to Canada this year. The problem, however is, I am not too satisfied with the Architecture major here. I feel its more theoretical and less studio based than that which I studied last year. I am seriously considering switching out of the program. Even though I am about to complete my 2nd year here.
I had 90+ in my A-levels in physics chemistry math economics and feel like I could easily have completed an undergrad degree in engineering/ interior because firstly: I had strong academic background in engineering and secondly, even with my strictly engineering background (and literally 0 background in arts) I m managing 75-85% in all my architecture courses.
From what I have read here I feel a strong undergrad degree in anything is better than a BA in architecture that might not even get me into a grad school and might or might not get me a job.
So basically my problem is this: should I waste my 2 years of education and get a good undergrad instead for now and focus on architecture later? I love architecture sure but if I get a worthwhile degree for now is really what matters the most.
Any input and guidance would be extremely appreciated.
where do i take it from here?
