Yes I did get admitted for 2010 and they allowed me to defer for 1 year.  I had the same plan as you, but got cold feet about moving to a new city without any money or a job.  I am planning on saving up money while living with my parents back in Michigan until the move. 
 
Hope that helps. Mess…[Read more]

I am attending UC-Denver for my MLA I in Fall 2011, so if that’s your choice ultimately let me know, because it’s a new city for me too!

One of the best things about large and historic urban cores is the clearly organic way in…[Read more]

could you elaborate a little further on Penn and A&M as it relates to urban design w/in MLA?

I’ve been to NYC a handful of times and am quite familiar with the city, so culturally I don’t think I would have any problem adjusting. I will probably head out there to visit in which case I’ll let you know. I understand…[Read more]

Did you get an MLA from there by any chance? I am wondering what kind of job prospects their grads have. I don’t have any frame of reference on how the industry views degrees from various schools other than the publicized DesignIntelligence rankings

I’m thinking more along the lines of an MLA program with a concentration in something related to urban design (sort of like OSU’s community and urban landscape design concentration)

I am considering working for a year if I can find a job in which case I would apply there for sure.

Does anyone have any knowledge of UC-Denver in terms of quality or what kind of experiences other people had there
