Date: Dec 31 1969
Major: Architecture (This Major's Salary over time)
Going to this school for masters of architecture was the worse decision of my life.

1. They expect you to do a colossal amount of work in very little time and with no intellectual value whatsoever. In the end weather you worked hard or not you and the next person that spent 2 seconds on it get the same grade. So the only way to get through is figure out what the teacher wants and then don’t do it just hand something in by the deadline and you'll do fine. If you dare try to learn from the projects they give you, you won’t have enough time and you won’t get any credit for it.

The amount of work for the number of credits is way off.

2. The administration doesn’t know what they are doing most of the time and are unfriendly when you ask for something.

3. This school costs way too much, NOT even if it was free because everything I’ve learned this year I learned by myself or from other students.

4. The architecture building is falling apart the roof leaks in a lot of places on the students projects and bugs fall out of the lights on drawings and there are many many mice, studio is too cold in the winter at night I guess they try to cut costs, and a lot of your stuff gets stolen.

5. Some faculty don’t know what they are doing and experiment on students every semester and another one likes to hit on all the students and Only one faculty member Vyt Gureckas I thought was brilliant and really cared about what students learned. He's the only reason I think my experience there was not a total loss.

I'm changing to another university and really upset about the year and stress I put myself through.
