I have been doing architectural design for 20 years. The best advice I can give you is not to look so hard at schools right now. If you just graduated from HS, you have plenty of time. Go buy some tools and spend a couple years in the field working in various trades. Then go to school. It will make school sooooooo much easier for you, and you will end up being a better architect for doing so. I believe architecture is like doctoring. When you go to med school, you have to intern at a hospital to graduate. It should be manditory to work in the field for arch.'s too.

Hey there,

Well as a second year arch student, what really worked out the best for me was to go to a community college fresh out of high school and took architecture there, which allows me to go into any firm as a draftsman. Now that I am done with that, I am in an arch design university school and it is so much easier for me because of the previous experience and I also have the option of a position at a firm.

Hope that helps and good luck!
