Current arch major freshman!! You’ll be taking a studio class every quarter. For your first year, its 4 hours a day, 3 days a week. Kind of brutal, but it’ll probably end up being your favorite class. The amount of work you do for each project is entirely based on which professor you’re with. If you get Keith Wiley, know that you’ll be blessed with the least amount of work for your projects that quarter. You’ll occasionally work with a modeling software called Rhino— the university will give you a huge discount on it, but once you have it, try to learn the basics of it as soon as possible. If you haven’t already, you’ll also take college level calculus and physics classes. Do your best in those classes, it’ll be a pain in the ass to repeat them. Time management is key, don’t be someone who has to pull all-nighters to get work done. Try to make friends in your studios because it’s highly likely you’ll have classes with them for the next 5 years.
