I had a friend ask me about this program -- apparently his son is considering attending.
I was zero help -- I know nothing about the program, and have never worked with -- or even talked with -- anyone who graduated from the program. Anyone know the good / bad about the program?
I attended the career discovery program prior to beginning undergrad(years ago). If that's an option for your friend's son then I strongly suggest it. I originally wanted to attend but after that summer program I did not apply to ND, just wasn't for me.
It's a great program, rooted in classical architecture that still values hand-drawing with about as good of an alumni base as any Ivy League university. The Rome studies program is the only US architecture program where a year abroad is a required part of the curriculum.
If your friend's son is interested in ND, he should know that the program teaches classical and traditional architecture. It is the foremost classical program in the country. If he has talent, a degree from ND will nearly guarantee him a good job upon graduation, since there are few other classical programs, and therefore the top ND grads are in high demand - the good trad firms fight over them.
