M. Arch at Virginia Tech vs. Cincinnati - help!

theunicorn

I'm currently deciding between these masters programs, which seem quite different from each other. Which program do people/architects/firms think is stronger? I thought I was pretty set on Cincy (especially because I don't already have a design background and need to learn how to use rendering programs), but now I'm not so sure. I would really appreciate hearing people's honest appraisals of both schools.

Please, please, please! I really thought I was sure on Cincy, but I don't know how the programs compare!

^ don't even know why you want to go to Cincy for learning rendering programs...

I'd heard that you learn how to use programs there, or at least are encouraged to use them in classes. From students who go to VT, I've learned that CAD programs are kind of discouraged, which is a concern.

Sounds like Cincy uses things you're interested in. Vtech is limited in that regard and will limit your opportunities to like minded employers.

I guess connections and experiences you could earn through co-op at Cincy will help you to get employed at better firms a bit easier.
