What’s the word on City College?

There’s an article in Landscape Architecture Magazine on them – I know a few alumni (one in our office, some friends at others), pretty reputable (though less ‘established) and always has a few ‘star’ visiting faculty.

I’m biased, but I loved UVA – good balance of technology and hand work, and a good distribution of coursework that is well taught and thought out.  They have a clear pedagogy and the faculty within the school (including planners, architects and historians) is well knit and very friendly.  

pm me if you have specific questions

I am currently a second year at the Spitzer School of Architecture at City College. We are a small community within the school with extremely devoted professors and we get a lot of attention from them. The program is based on the studio environment but we have many classes that supports the studio environment.  There is a lot of stress put on the urban environment and how we can live for the future within the city. 

I highly recommend you check out the school and meet with the faculty.

Thank you both, Steve and Tosh.

I went to Penn and had the person who is now the director of CCNY’s program as a professor there – Denise Hoffman-Brandt.  I have sat in a few reviews over the years and know people who have graduated from the program.  I think it’s solid – innovative research and programs, good faculty and good students.  You should definitely consider it.
