Hi everyone,

I was wondering if any of you could shed some light on M.Arch programs at Rhode Island School of Design and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.

I've received an admit for the 2 year M.Arch course at both these colleges and although I'm pretty stoked about it, I'd like to know how I could benefit from either of these colleges.

I'm personally more inclined towards RISD because I feel it might have better exposure in terms of design. But I'm aware that RPI offers a design development semester that would train students to work in a firm post their graduation. I'm having a tough time weighing the pros and cons so I was wondering if any of you could maybe tell me about the courses, college/campus life, professors and scope for internships and job opportunities for graduates from both these colleges?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks,

Sanjana
