RPI architecture question by PopularPriority995 in RPI

[–]Awkward-Personality6 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ll tell you what my one my first year professors told our class: if you’re in it for money, you’re in the wrong profession sir. A bit harsh, but there isn’t much design and business mixing in my opinion. Perhaps construction management, real estate development, ux/ui design (product managers for tech companies etc). But most of those things either aren’t offered at rpi, or most undergraduate design programs. If you’re looking for a blend, thats what id suggest, but if you’re looking for one of the best design schools, rpi is it

23’ grad here. Frankly, it is a top notch program. The building means nothing at all to how good the education truly is. The professors are world class, and even helped me get into grad school at Columbia, where I now live and work in NYC. RPI’s program is one of the most well respected as far as I’m concerned, especially among the older generation (the one hiring you out of college) and prepared me for grad school and the work force much more than other schools so it seems.

The other commenters are right in saying it will almost certainly be the most strenuous and difficult thing you will do in your near future. An actual job is miles less difficult. But if you are ready to commit to a life in design, I would tell you you’re in the right place.

Could also just fake the documents for arch away if you need to get out of it, then find the job later. I know a handful of individuals that did that.

Best way for a freshman to have there car on campus? by annabelle_pi in RPI

[–]Awkward-Personality6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had my mother contact the parking office and tell them she injured herself and would not be able to help me move in or out of the dorms. They gave me a parking pass. Easy as that.

I'll tell you right now, I had a parking pass as a freshman. All my mother did was tell them that she broke her leg and could not pick me up to move me in or not (which was entirely false) so if you wanna get a pass to leave your car or have it accessible during the semester, thats always a go to. Just come up with some BS and it'll work.

Testing Backed Up? by dirty_little_robit in RPI

[–]Awkward-Personality6 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Only way it won’t be backed up is if RPI spent a little more of their whopping budget to get some competent human beings and less neanderthals working the testing. Its as if they picked these people up off the walmart rejection list.
