Student Tips
- Find a senior student to be your mentor. Us old timers, have been around the block a time or two
- Get to know your School of Architecture and the people in it. You will be spending a lot of time here and you may just need someone's help one night when no one else is around.
- "Work smart, not hard."
- Work in studio (not at home): your classmates are great for advice, crits, inspiration, and supplies.
- Your best friends are those who can be brutally honest about your work.
- Take plenty of breaks; how much time can you lose in 15 minutes anyway?
- Remember, asking for help is a strength, not a weakness.
- Put your name on all your supplies--they tend to walk away.
- When it comes to technology (computers, printers, scanners), if it can go wrong it will, so expect the unexpected.
- Your assignment may seem irrelevant now, but stick with them because eventually you will realize that it is from these early projects that you learn the most.
