Questions for consideration:
What is the direction of the school?
Would you say the school is design heavy/ theory heavy etc...?
Does the school offer sustainable design courses?
What kinds of students fare best both on the admissions table and in the school?
Do the professors push in any particular direction (in design, theory, etc...)?
Who are some important or exceptional people in the department?
...and anything else that might help a prospective student decide whether the school would be an appropriate place to apply.

[/url]
I act.ly apprctd this.
Yale is Yale Harvard is Harvard Columbia is Columbia......they all have directions driven by contributors to the University. Ask yourself, "Do they really create Architects"? Or are they just creating arm rubbing buddies of rich folk. Don't take me wrong, there are a small minority of students who have danced their way thru their programs who do great work but most just end up in the junk pile of large firms, producing below par projects, but being profitable. If you want to dance on the edge...ya go there,,,grab all you can....then do your own damn thing! If it is rubbing elbows you might think about an MBA at Yale, Harvard,
Columbia. If your feeling risky MIT or Babson.
