Graduate School Decision

bA19

Hello everyone!

I am from Dhaka, Bangladesh and I did my B.Arch from Dhaka as well. I applied to M.Arch programs for Fall 2016. My promary fields of interest are history, adaptive re-use and cultural heritage. 

I got accepted to 5 different schools. I would appreciate your opinions / comments / comparisons regarding the M.Arch (with slight variations) programs.

1) RISD (2-year M.Arch) - USD 7000 Fellowship + USD 5000 Assistantship / year

2) Clemson-U (2-year M.Arch) - awaiting assistantship decisions 

3) U-Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (2-year M.Arch) - USD 8000 Scholarship + awaiting assistantship decisions

4) U-Maryland (M.Arch-M.H.P Dual Degree) - awaiting assistantship decisions

5) School of the Art Institute in Chicago (M.Arch with Emphasis in Interior Design + Certificate in Historic Preservation) - ? (just got accepted.. no funding info as of now)

I am really very confused which school to pick. Please do help me out with your valuable comments!

- Thank you! :)

I do have my opinion and choices of course. Never harms to hear varied opinions or discussions. I see no reason to be pointlessly mean and rude.

Take a look at how many people make their first post to these forums a "help me decide on what school" and you'll understand the reaction.
