I was intrigued by SCI - Arc's unique approach towards architecture and decided to apply to this institute, but I need to know if I am making the right choice. Is it a good university overall? And by overall, I mean the faculty, campus, cost of living, cost of study materials (prints, etc.), recreational time? I am an international student btw.
Also, are the study abroad programs in effect?

adult decisions are hard. Let's ask random strangers online because it's much easier!

I'm just 17 but bwahahahahah funny! Also, it's not like I would make my decision solely on your comments. I am an international student and I wanted to get some insights on the institute because it's not possible for me to visit it.

You honestly don't sound mature enough for undergrad even. Try again in 5 years time.

My opinion: a B.Arch at Sciarc would be a good choice only for that rare someone who is certain that they want to pursue architecture, is interested in Sciarc’s narrow pedagogy around visualization and digital fabrication, and does not need the multidisciplinary opportunities at a more conventional university.
Otherwise I would recommend you go to a different school with more options, figure out what you really want to do and are interested in, and maybe go there for grad school.

Ok I'll bite, and only because you asked nicely. Disclaimer: Wasn't a student there but here're some things I know:
-
-
- Cost of Living:Living in LA is comparable to popular metropolitan areas like NYC. I'd share accommodation with other students if I were you.
- Cost of materials: Expensive AF so unless daddy's rich...
There was a past thread on how a class in sci-arc mandated the purchase of iPads by every single student for the sake of presentation. No, they didn't get those back after said exhibition. Go look up via the Search function.
- Recreation Time: You're talking about arch school in general. What recreation time?

SCI-Arc has a profile page here in Archinect where you can see all the registered Archinect users who went there. Best to message and ask them personally. https://archinect.com/sciarc
