I don't know if arch is anything like it is at my current school (UF), but its really hard here. Lots and lots of hours outside of class spent making things out of balsa wood, museum board, and wood. Lots = 60 hours/week minimum. I'm in engieering and their the only people I actually think have as much work as us. But..if it's what you want to do, that's great!! Work you ass off from day one until you graduate and you'll be good.
Sorry..SOMEONE had to be positive
