-Guys got one more acceptance!! --NC State College of Design!
-Could anyone throw some light on the architecture program here. If anyone is pursuing architecture education at the NC State please come forward and discuss their experiences.
-I am confused at UIUC has a better overall ranking as compared to NC State, whereas NC State ranks better in architecture ranking
- I have found this website http://architecture-schools.startclass.com/ has anyone reffered to this website and how much should I really base my decision on this website???????
- I really like the Architecture Studios and the Temple Hoyne Buell Hall at UIUC, no other architecture building in my kitty compares to that i feel. How much does this really affect the experience of the course??
-Also Raleigh I have heard is an amazing place to llive in as compared to Urbana-Champaign as its a city and the famous Research Triangle at NC State with UNC Chapel Hill and Durham also sound like an interesting factor that would add to my graduate studies.

You mean NCSU? There was a good school-blog... I looked into it, for graduate school.

I know a few people who did grad school at NCSU. They seemed to think it was a decent school, super pragmatic though. It is also a fairly small school, so the options for professors and whatnot are limited.

Nope.Though the one thing someone wrote on that website about UIUC was that it was also very technical. If you look at student work you should be able to tell for sure. It is much bigger though.
I graduated a couple years ago, from a different school.

The website you linked us with isn't really reliable since their rankings don't seem to change. It also looks user based where DI uses various sources. They have UCLA in the bottom hundred.
I would go with UIUC. I personally haven't heard anything about NCSU. UIUC has a few area of specialization that include design, detail+fabrication, history, and structures. With the stuctures option you can also sit for the engibeering exam to be lisenced in the Midwest.

Thanks alot!!! I really needed to know about that website, because I think I was relying on it a bit too much. Though I am not too inclined towards structures, which is why I am even thinking twice. Even I think UIUC is a better option, I have accepted it already!!
Thanks alot everyone for the responses!

^to be fair to the website, it's giving some nice information, and just making statements based on that. Which does speak to the school in one way or another. Of course it's data accuracy is hard to check.
It doesn't really speak to the nature of the program though.
