Hi Bob,
Thank you for replying! I had already done some research on landscape architecture, and am currently job shadowing/interning under a landscape architect. I’ve always enjoyed art and design, and that’s what had attracted me to the profession in the first place.
From my job shadowing experience, I guess I became unsure if the profession was for me because it wasn’t quite like what I had expected and different from the usual designing I’m used to.
And actually, Berkeley is closer to where I live (about an hour away), but distance is not a major problem for me, and neither is Berkeley’s political reputation.
I’ll try to research even more on the different projects landscape architects design, since I don’t think I’m getting the full picture during my job shadowing sessions.
Best,
Audrey
