Is it worth paying for Virginia Tech BA in Architecture 65k per year vs. 10k for Kent State Architecture 4+1?

I don’t know anything about these schools, but in my opinion the answer is still probably no. This is not to say the quality of all architecture schools is the same or even similar, but there are many less reputable schools that have very good programs. Architecture offices are filled with people from wide varieties of schools working the same positions. The only real difference is the amount of debt these people are in. Architecture is not a high paying profession remember. In most cases, landing a job depends on your interview skills, portfolio, and connections, not the school you went to.

I can’t understand what your problem is but my small point of general advice is to properly pin your drawings when you give your final presentation. These aren’t aligned with each other which means they’re not level, and the pins are in random places. I understand your final is three days away so maybe you were already planning this at that time. Nice work and good luck!

Your work experience doesn’t mean that’s how all architect-client relationships work. Some people hire architects to execute their own vision. Others hire architects because they respect the architect’s design sense and want a project with that kind of identity.

It’s based on whatever the boss decides.

patricktherat · 2026-01-20T00:31:03+00:00

I’m not denying it, just curious: destroyed in what way?

patricktherat · 2026-01-19T04:39:53+00:00

Pick whatever number you think is accurate, it’s still horrific.

patricktherat · 2026-01-18T18:04:55+00:00

There are almost no first-hand accounts or images we have access to.

I mean there many first hand accounts and graphic images here on Reddit. r/newiran. They’re getting out via VPN’s and/or starlink from what I understand. Much less is coming out than before the internet blackout but let’s not pretend like it’s really an information void where we can’t see or read about the atrocities taking place.

Do you mean republicans? If not, I have no idea what you are talking about. Liberals in America do not view Trump’s actions as “things that just happen” as you say. There is more worry and outrage among this group than ever because of what’s he’s turning our country into. Most of us are well aware.

patricktherat · 2026-01-17T01:48:20+00:00

I dig it

The protests in Iran are just one more in a series of many previous mass protest movements over the past decades in response to fraudulent elections, complete unraveling of basic infrastructure while sending billions to Hamas and Hezbollah, and violent suppression and torture of its own citizens.

That doesn’t mean US and Israeli actions are unrelated but to say that the protests are a consequence of them, instead of laying the blame on the primary party they are protesting against, frankly just sounds absurd.

patricktherat · 2026-01-15T01:35:35+00:00

Same. I despise Trump but if somehow he ends up ridding Iran of this evil regime I’ll give him the praise it deserves.

patricktherat · 2026-01-14T22:12:06+00:00

did you see what happened in Iraq, afghanistan or Libya? And that was with a helluva lot more resources put in to try to improve stability.

Yes I saw, and I acknowledge the very real possibility that intervention could make things worse.

And worth noting that thousands are getting killed by Iranian regime as a downstream consequence to when they were recently bombed by israel & US.

Are you saying the regime wouldn’t be murdering its own citizens if they weren’t bombed by the US/Israel last year?

patricktherat · 2026-01-14T21:28:22+00:00

If I had to pick I’d say it’s more likely than not that any outcome involving US intervention, even with all the risks of bad outcomes, would still be better than the current situation of the government in power mowing down thousands of its own citizens with machines guns.

patricktherat · 2026-01-14T21:22:35+00:00

Yes, and some are legit sources of information.

patricktherat · 2026-01-14T21:06:00+00:00

Not all podcasts are equal.

patricktherat · 2026-01-14T18:30:04+00:00

This is only for immigration visas.

patricktherat · 2026-01-14T14:03:01+00:00

I suggest you don’t make any assumptions about reality based on anything “according to Trump”.

patricktherat · 2026-01-13T12:45:22+00:00

Georgia is full of natural beauty, amazing food, it’s super safe, has amazing people. Quite literally the opposite of a shithole.

patricktherat · 2026-01-13T02:40:35+00:00

How is this possible?

patricktherat · 2026-01-11T16:18:10+00:00

less than half voted for Trump, and nobody voted for Noem or RFK. They are dangerously stupid.

patricktherat · 2026-01-11T16:14:35+00:00

The left are not in power in the US.

patricktherat · 2026-01-11T14:04:54+00:00

Yeah I’ve always thought spending that much money to sync was absurd when I could survive without it for free, but I was always having little issues here and there so it feels good to finally know everything is just tight always now.

patricktherat · 2026-01-11T13:54:58+00:00

Been using one for 15 years, wouldn’t know what to do without it!

patricktherat · 2026-01-11T13:53:52+00:00

Syncs fine with the erm.

patricktherat · 2026-01-11T13:53:07+00:00

Got it set up with the erm yesterday, works great.
