The BAC is unique. Your personal work ethic and motivation is the prime ingrediant to success. There is NO hand-holding. The program is based on working in the field at the same time as in the classroom. Credit is earned in each area each semester. If your job is boring and you do not try hard to learn in that situation, your education will suffer. This is an institution that is easy to get in, but very hard to get through or stay in until graduation. This being said, architects and firms (at least in my experience in Boston) seem to have a great respect for those you have gotten though. I have had a generally positive experience thus far.

there is NO organization, no dissemination of information. that gathered from administration is not necessarily true. few people ever graduate, and when they do it takes well over the advertised time (closer to 10 years than 5 or 7). i would NOT recommend this school to anyone looking to learn from professionals. Some teachers are excellent, but most are either less experienced than most students, are students themselves at some other school, or do not even work (or know anything about) the subject they are teaching.
