To those who care

At the bachelor level ucb is a college of environmetal design. They say
they do architecture there. The classes are BIG and the instructors are
BIGGER (in many ways). In Oakland there is the California College of Arts
and Crafts, they have a design campus in San Fransisco which has
Architecture at the Bachelor level. They offer a BArch degree (for a lot of
work and money). It is a private college with small classes. The
instructors are full time practicing architects. What is prestige when you
can learn in the design community you may soon be working in?
A CCAC ARCH STUDENT. see you in the design world.
