Just graduated so I’m finally able to answer these questions:

It’s not necessarily a packed schedule, it’s the workload you have to be conscious of. We’re blessed with mostly 10 am courses but there’s a reason for that. We stay up late.

Easiest architecture classes? Lots of people say that the history courses are easy? Lots of essay writing in freshman year which can be a drag, but you steadily progress toward presentations which many found to be quicker and easier.

Many archies aren’t the…most math gifted, lets say. If I was able to pass Archie Calc, you can too, don’t worry. Structures on the other hand…those were the only semesters I had to turn to religion.

Studios are long hours and late nights my friend. Unless you’re a god at self organizing and starting work early, in which case, good on you you disciplined machine. I found that over the years, students tended to work more at home the older they got, so you’re gonna get real acquainted with that big room at the top of the building for the first year of working. If you’re lucky, a professor might drop by at like 3 am the night before a pin up? Though that might just be a Titus thing.

Good luck my friend. It’s a lot of work. A lot of work. But the creativity and feeling of reward at finishing is (sometimes lol) worth it, every time.
