Haha found these from last year, see more here and here
1. You will need to have good time management skills. Sometimes you'll end up pulling all-nighters or losing a weekend as deadlines draw near BUT you can allay these to some extent by treating your degree like a 9-5 job. 100 hour weeks are not uncommon, even in first year!
LIFE AS ARCHITECTURE STUDENT
1. You will need to have good time management skills. Sometimes you'll end up pulling all-nighters or losing a weekend as deadlines draw near BUT you can allay these to some extent by treating your degree like a 9-5 job. 100 hour weeks are not uncommon, even in first year!
2. You'll probably moan constantly about your degree despite having no intention to actually drop it.
3. Learn to recycle modeling materials - then you can afford to feed yourself.
5. Be prepared to take the initiative.
6. Travelling is important for an architecture student - the ideal excuse for a holiday abroad!
7. Part-time work is probably best saved for the summer if you intend to do really well in your studies. Budgeting is a must. Fortunately, alcohol is cheap.
8. Power-napping for 15 minutes every 45 minutes for the 3 weeks leading up to a crit or deadline will not, contrary to popular belief, work. You may end up in a coma.
9. Don't date an architect, unless you are insane.
10. Enjoy your work! If you plan to become an architect, your projects as a student are more flexible due to the absence of fussy clients and tight budgets (but yes, you will have to take harsh criticism from your tutors).
