As for your cons to LSU. The humidity…….its hot and stickly, its Louisiana. For 6 months you will sweat as you walk from the car to the studio. As for partying, you will be in the studio more than anything. As for not knowing anyone….I moved from Jersey to LSU and while it was hard to initially get over the…[Read more]

But your def. right, better to have a revolving door than no door.

I feel better now.

California has a high cost of living compared to the rest of the US, therefor salaries are higher to compensate.

Or should I say that landscape architecture doesn’t transition to them easily. As more engineers use these programs so do architects. Unfortunately site design and an easy interface inst something either programs interfaces excel at…..at all.

There are more people, supply, then there is demand. I havent really seen this though. Companies asking for MLA’s for entry level? Where? What companies? If your good enough they will want you as an investment.

Thats a big move. If I was you I would get some assurance of a job before hand. Dont go blindly. Oh and Sasaki is like a revolving door to the grunts of the office.

Most likely have paid more attention to school my frist and second year. But in reality, I wouldnt have changed a thing.

April, go to LSU, it changed me alot. You are going to have a different experience than most because of the age and maturity difference. I loved LSU, lead me straight to a great job. The program is ranked so high, the best teachers, everything really. (besides the occasional hurricane, or oil ball)

Thats the most diffucult thing, to wake up each day and check the email, and recheck and recheck and recheck. All it takes is one person, one connection. Have to keep your head up. I felt the exact sameway.

Harvard, LSU, Penn would all be the best. Roots help get jobs afterwards.

I recently graduated last May, out of the 15 students graduating from my university 2 had jobs after work, 1 (me) just found a job, 5 went to get a masters and delay the economy.
