...one of the best things about sciarc is that, if a professor is discussing an aspect of theory, an aspect of materiality, construction, design, chances are they're citing an example of something that can be found built in Los Angeles. Peter Cook used to say of SCIArc, "You could come to LA, and what at the AA might just be talked about, at SCIArc you could drive around and see it built." (paraphrasing from memory)
SCIArc exists as a laboratory inside Los Angeles,and as a result, SCIArc is never short on inspiration or the opportunity to directly engage the work of your instructors.
Besides...it's upstate.
"Look outside. It's sunny every day here. It's like manifest destiny."
Except today in LA. It's raining, which is the best time to see the Salk Institute two hours south on the freeway. Wet concrete and rainwater pouring out the scuppers.
Another consideration: where you'd like to work after school. Los Angeles, well, duh. But if you're thinking NYC, Syracuse might be a better bet with a stronger alumni network on the East Coast...
it really depends on what you wanna focus on, syracuse has a new dean in mark robbins, a new buildling in the warehouse, and a new grad chair in mark linder (theorist) so syracuse grad program is headed upward
i jsut decided on syracuse...starting this fall in the march 1..so get at me if you want more info on decision and else

Undergrad: Syracuse. Test the waters. If it doesn't suit you, bring what you've learned to SCIArc.
March 1... yeah it it was for Barch it wouldnt be so hard.
