More challenging and more instructive, perhaps, would be an article
about any of the following: what should an architecture education
encompass? How much "real world" should be in an arch. education?
Should college be a time to learn about things that often aren't dealt
with in the outside world? Is the real world really substantially
different from college? How much variety should be allowed in arch.
program curricula? Is there a place for schools that don't focus much
on practical aspects of the profession? Is it more a matter of finding
the right college for you rather than there being a single "correct"
educational model? Think about these...
