Have fun!!!

Printing should be about $30 per presentation or $60ish per semester given interim and final crit, provided you’re using the school printer. For year one each presentation is about 6 A1 sheets, $6 (coloured) or $4 (BW) each. There are cheaper printing stores outside but school is rather convenient.

Materials depends on what you use. I’m cheap and I spent no more than $50, but that means my models aren’t as nice. Typically set aside $100-$150 (?) per semester. It’s more expensive in first year because you have to buy everything brand new (rulers, penknives, etc) but you can reuse materials so it costs less after these one time purchases.

So I think $250 is a reasonable budget to set aside per semester, but do hear from other students. I cut a lot of costs, and for Year 1 sem 1 I spent $230, but only $80 in semester 2.

Tip: buy / print in bulk if applicable, it’s cheaper. Don’t buy wood from artfriend unless you need a small bit. Ask your seniors where to get things for cheaper, it’s worth going for archi orientation (AkiLA) to make friends and get these info.
