I actually just got off the phone with a friend who is a current student and, coincidentally enough, she said something similar to what you shared. This new perspective definitely has me leaning toward Harvard, based on my career goals.

I meant to say I would have the background and skillset to be part of each stage of the project. That means I could work with a team and give input on the environmental chemistry as well as the master planning. Does that make sense?
I want to be on the more technical side of…[Read more]

I think that was beautifully put. That really makes sense. I’m still doing plenty of exploring on my end to figure out what my own strengths are and which field I may be more drawn to. But I’ll hold that statement in my mind as I…[Read more]

I’m sure the bond I am trying to forge does develop over years of experience, but having it in mind from the beginning is a start.

Yes the way of thinking/approaching a problem is definitely different. Yes, they achieve different goals. However, I still fail to see why a union between civil engineering and architecture is more accepted than one between environmental…[Read more]

I know it sounds like I want to be the “one stop shop” but I think I’m unsuccessfully trying to ask about the PE/RLA experience. What is that combination like? Do the two fields even combine well? Is the work a balance of both or do you still have to ‘choose a side’?
I’m glad you emphasize work because I am starting to…[Read more]

If I work in a firm that, for example, has an engineering department and landscape architecture department, then my tasks have a chance to become more blended.
Are you telling me that there are positions where LAs are a part of the analysis of the site, determination and implementation of the remediation method as…[Read more]
