Hello Everyone,

I am very interested in the AA DRL program and while there seems to be many postings about the AA or AA DRL in particular, I'm curious to understand what my expectations should be if I were to apply and be admitted to the program.

(1)  What is the typical work load in the AA DRL program?  Is it very intensive, multiple all-nighters, etc?  Or does it vary based on the semester and professor?

(2)  What does a typical DRL student's week look like?

(3)  Does the program's workload allow for part-time jobs or assistantships?

(4)  Are all projects teamwork based?

(5)  Does each student have the opportunity to learn (via classes or tutors) maya, rhino, scripting, etc - or is it pretty much assumed that everyone has a working knowledge of these programs?  Is this also the case with robotics/laser cutter, etc?

I'd appreciate any and all answers to help me decide on the program!

Thank you.
