Looking to not go $100k in debt after a 3+ M.Arch program. Can most likely get in-state tuition at either of these places (Cal Poly Pomona or UIC). What are the pros and cons of either?
Or should I just go a ton in debt and go to Sci-Arc?
Cheers
Ronco,
UIC for sure. They have great faculty and its only getting better. You have Somol, Preissner, Garafolo, Dunn just to name a few. They have huge connections and they get those starchitects to lecture and even teach seminars etc. Its definetelly a good program and it's only getting better. Plus if you are an Illinois resident the tuition and debt will not keep you from getting a new car when you get out haha, especially right now, but hopefully it will improve when you get out in two-three years.

I would pick UIC any day over Pomona. UIC's grad program is getting strong, strong, strong.
