I know architecture is too much stress but I honestly don't see myself in anything else like genuinely architecture is the only thing I am interested in , I used to be interested in law but I figured out it was just a phase and my true passion is architecture and I believe this is the most important thing , because your passion and ambitions are what will control you.
honestly, i have a similar POV. I'm aware of how difficult it can be, it's intimidating for sure but i can't see myself anywhere else
Should we know how to draw in order to study architecture??
@@shammaalhammadi2274 yes it doesn't have to be 'good', if other people can read your drawing then thats enough
are u ENTP?
@@Cozmii no I am ISFJ
This video is the positive light i needed - been seeing so many “why you shouldn’t study architecture” etc. and now im super scared of majoring in it/becoming an architect
I completely agree! There are way too many videos that have me second guessing what I thought I had found was a real interest.
did u ever decide? im so stressed!:(
@@devinlapikas1341 don't be afraid to start.
I myself had the same thoughts before making the decision...but now that I have already started I have no regrets😅
That's so true. I'm getting really scared with all the videos saying that there's hardly designing and mostly history and theory and they're saying it's Soo hard. Did u guys start and how's it going ?
My daughter did architecture first semester and did great, but the studio was much too time consuming, nebulous, subjective, stressful, and there was little instruction. Since there’s no one right answer, one can’t know when the amount of effort is enough, and that amount becomes enormous. She wanted more scientific exactitude and less art, so switched to engineering, and loves it. But if that’s your passion, go for it!
Can you explain what the studio is?
The thing about how first semester kinda levels the field is so true! I came into my program with no experience because I didn’t have any resources around me to help. My final for the first semester was ok and it definitely wasn’t the worse project, but second semester my project was maybe the best one of the group and I was awarded the first year award for design excellence. It is truly about what you put into.
Can u make a vid about pros and cons of architecture
You don’t need that. Every job and interest in the world has pros and cons. If you truly wanted to per-sue architecture you wouldn’t care about the cons
I can't believe I came across this video. For the longest time my architecture school world has felt so close and tiny and small and hearing about others worldwide going through similar experiences just fuels me to be better to myself and be more confident in class because I am not alone. Thank you
THANK YOU FOR THIS!!
i’m a sophomore in highschool taking architecture and construction 2, i love it so much and i already know i want to go into architecture but i’m scared of how difficult it may be. I still have so much time to think about college and i should’nt be stressing but i can only see myself doing architecture
Why did this video make me sad bc I know we rnt going to be in studio in the fall 😢 but this video was awesome !!!
ty
Ugh I love your videos! This was so informational, and its so cool to see someone who looks like me going after her dreams and helping others along the way. This is seriously inspiring, and this video is so well put together. Seriously, thank you so much.
I really like and appreciate the style this video was made, it was really really enlightening to hear the different perspectives! I'm applying to schools right now deciding between interior architecture and architecture, and this video has helped tremendously, you guys all seem so passionate and intelligent!! I'm sure all of you guys will go places. :)
have you chosen? i'm wondering which one to choose as well. Architecture seems too broad if main interest is in interiors
Love this! I'm planning on doing Architecture and this was very helpful. Thank you!
Loved participating in the video!! Super amazing experience to see my responses compared to what my friends thought!! As always amazing video, by far the best content on youtube!!!!
this is such an interesting way of putting what architecture school really is. i relate sm in every aspects, especially abt the lecturer, studio culture n online learning things. im entering my 3rd year next month, and my first yr still resonates as the hardest yet the most mind-opening experience yet
This video is amazing and so insightful!! Being a rising junior with j a small amount of experience in AutoCAD and hand drawing, I have really, lately come to an understanding that this is something that I am truly interested in after coming to dead ends with other ventures. I would love to see more videos of you talking about tips on going from high school to college and wanting to be an architecture major.
I also wanted to be an fashion designer who ended up in the architecture field. I still love fashion, but i love what i do and wouldn't change my major for anything!
Did u finish studying arch? If not what year r in now
Kaitelyn!! this was so well done and intriguing, i'm always here for this content!!
can i join making videos
Can you please do a video on why you choose USC specifically for architecture? Thank you your videos are so helpful!!!!
this is a very nice and helpful video, thank you:)
Thank you! This is super helpful
This video was soo helpful 👏🏽
I wish my architecture life was this entertaining right now! .
Thank u for this!
Off topic but I LOVE your curls! They're so pretty 😍
Hey girl hey 💞
This video is so funny and accurate haha. :D Architecture school is no joke!!
if you want a suggestion to make a video about that air force program and you being in arch, let this be that suggestion.
I love how you included other people, this is such a good video !! Also you are so gorgeous!
The thing is I am a very artsy person and I am super inspired by Antonio Gaudi but I dont know if in architecture you have to tone down the creativity or you can be however creative you want in your project...I m 16 years old by the way and sorry if it sounds like a stupid question
Woah, you’re in ROTC and an architecture major! Very impressive. Does the Air Force have architect jobs? If not, what job do you want to be assigned and do you plan on becoming an architect afterwards? Thanks.
Dude, I watched your videos all summer to prepare for my USC applications and I GOT IN! I have my merit scholarship application tomorrow with the school of Architecture and with that being said I hope to see you next semester!!!!
how’s it going??
@@emaleigh7812 it's going great! The program is so rigorous and sometimes I do not sleep until 5 am but ik it will be worth it,
@@untitledrebellion that’s awesome, i want to go into architecture, kinda sacred abt not getting any sleep tho😭 anyways i’m glad your doing good, i wish you all the best in your career person i don’t know
@@untitledrebellion how many hours of sleep do you get per day
@@untitledrebellionhow are you doing now in arch?
I just saw you on an Apple advert on Snapchat and came back to this video
hello, I want to live only in NYC area. How easy is to find jobs/internships in desired location in architecture major. Should I go for it?
jajajaja the accuracy of the Cornell precollege kids
Is confidence a key part in architecture like in presenting a project?
Can you tell us about the portfolio please 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I don’t take arts in school anymore, even though I really like it. Does that change anything? Or could I just make a portfolio?
How do some of students balance jobs and school work
I would like to ask does all architecture students require good drawing skills?
everyone’s telling me architecture is hard but i know in the end it’ll be worth it (working on college apps for undergrad) 🥰
nayan t YES! that’s the energy
just want to say for the dude who was saying is portfolio was the same for a lot of different colleges it seemed like he was trying to find the right word and that type of portfolio is called a master portfolio
Thank you so so much this video really gave me a more in depth idea of what to expect. I’m currently a senior applying as an architecture major and I was wondering if you could talk more about how you developed your portfolio and if you have any tips??
hey i’m a senior as well applying for the same program, do you want to help eachother out with this process?
thank you! for my portfolio i mainly submitted work from art classes i took in high school. it honestly did not have very much cohesion, in the sense that i submitted everything from balsa wood sculptures to embroidered work, clay projects, and hand drawn sketches. my main tip would be to show that you have a balance of both technical skills AND creative skills. make sure you have variety and do not get caught up in trying to show 'architectural' things like buildings or perspective street shots, since architecture is much more than that- its important to show that you have a creative mindset rather than your ability to create a realistic rendering since that's something you will learn to do digitally in school anyway!
I'm thinking about it as well. Senior year just started
I've now started architectural studies in college, so I'm basically a new first year (yaayy😫). Honestly I felt/¿feel? like this course really, REALLY wasn't the course for me...but after watching this, I think I'm going to hold on... apperantly we are going to do a pin up, next week😭 and I'm not too good at talking, especially infront of people that I don't really talk to in class. (Sidenote, because of corona they are saying that, what should've originally been a semester course will be crammed into 7weeks...needless to say, I'm already tired😪) Also I'm not good at model making. So I guess one of my questions is;
• Were you bad at model making when you first started out, or were you good at it?
You got this✊🏾
Sooo how is your architecture studies good...... it's been 2 years now give me some updates??
I am transferring hopefully to U of M in the summer for architecture and I’m am scared that I won’t have enough background in the software. I took one hand drafting course and my cad/ revit class was cut short by the pandemic. Any sources I you all would recommend to help me play catch up?
Little late but try taking a course at your community collage before you go.
Hey kaitelyn so say you get a 4 yr bachelor dagree in architecture will you be able to live on your once you get a job bc I wanna get an apartment as soon as I’m done with college
So it depends what way you go on about getting that degree. You can get a certificate at a tech collage on CAD and get a decently paying job right out of high school as a drafter/paid intern. There’s certifications that you get along the way which offer you lower level jobs in the field. Also once you get the 4year bachelors you need to go to grad school for 2-3 more years to be a full on certified architect.
It depends where you live and what the cost in your area is but if you do it the smart way by getting those certificates for jobs while in school then you could probably afford moving out although it would be even better if you have a roommate sharing the rent with you.
@@jessicac8090 with a 4 year bachelors you could still work as an unlicensed architect right? And could that pay be enough to make a living?
I just re enrolled to high school to get my diploma to go to college to get my degree in architecture I’m just wondering, is it a good career and do you enjoy the school work ?
i can't speak on the career part just yet, but i love the school work! it's challenging, but it pushes you to do things you never would've thought you could. congrats on going back to school!
@@KaitelynHaynes would I still have to take physics in college/uni level?? Am planning on taking both physics 11&12 in high sch and am hoping that's it for physics chilee so that would be it right??
What classes did you take in high school? (Loved this vid btw)
i have a whole video dedicated to my high school stats!
Hi, what hairstyle do you have?
Is it possible to get into an Architecture school without a portfolio/art experience?
Depends on the country you're in. I got into Architecture school without either, but they eventually walked us through the basics of sketching and building your portfolio in the first year.
I feel like mostly they're not really strict about what you submit, but I guess you could just do like quick projects online or something though
It depends on the actual college or university. More than half the time if it's accredited, than yes. But sometimes you don't need one. You would have to look at admission requirements about a year or so before applying to prepare for that
I like to watch it..
What makes it so hard ? Isn’t there lots of work in courses like business? Or engineering? I am interested in going into architecture, but I’m also intrigued by business
Time consuming tbh. Engineering? Probably only 2 'engineering' type classes you'll have to take that's mainly concept focus, not too much math. Business, ehh there might be a management class, but nothing in depth for business. You'll have to minor or double in that probably.
Pro tip, make your own coffee at home. I went 3 weeks buying before I was like, well I guess I'm gonna starve now.
Yess buying coffee is so expensive especially from places like Starbucks
You said you had military training while pursuing architecture major. You were overwhelmed but you got through it. Would be possible if you were pursuing architecture major while playing college basketball (or any other sports)?
it will definitely be tough at first, but if you are passionate about both endeavours you'll make it through and be proud!
8:50 he’s so real
Architecture sounds harder than medicine. But I dont understand one thing... do architects have exams or more projects too present and get grades for?
Projects I think?
i love the intro alot, i need sleep
21:58 ahhaha the woman in the back
I legit am dying in my first year doing studio at home
first year is hard, and being at home is harder, but keep pushing!!
@@KaitelynHaynes is 2nd year easier? And do you have free time? Lol im on my first semester and i basically had no free time.
Fight on. I'm class of 03. It is a great experience. Let me m ow if you ever have any questions.
Hey, I actually have a lot of questions and I hope you don't mind answering them all haha
1- how many (and what are) the classes you have in architecture?
2- does it need a lot or memorization, like having to memorize many many details and many poly copies?
3- pros and cons of architecture?
4- can being shy be an issue?
5- is there many job opportunities and offers?
6- is architecture and interior architecture relationship? Like can you switch or do them both idk...
That's all I have in mind for now, please reply to me if you see this! I really need answers and advices
So since they didn’t respond here’s what I know based on a QnA I had with a CEO of an architecture company:
You can check specific collages for course descriptions when it comes to degrees and a lot have a list of the specific courses you need to take for the degree. They consist of studio classes and classes going over things like building codes and how to be environmentally friendly. But it varies between institutions.
Architecture doesn’t have to be interior design but it can it’s a really broad field there’s some architects who work solely on the drawing aspect and others who work on the more engineering side of it. So you can have like say an interior architecture job or something.
There’s a demand for architects especially fully certified grad school ones. Not as big as a medical job but it’s not on a decline. Big cities/developing cities always need architects.
There’s a lot of times in classes where you gotta present and do public speaking so I would say being sky would make classes go rough but public speaking is a skill that can be build and can get easier the more you do it I imagine theres a few public speaking/communication classes in every collage that you could take as an elective.
What University do you recommend 👁️
usc lmaooo
@@KaitelynHaynes aight lol
In 2021 architecture is not cool anymore. There are lot more options now than 10 years ago. There is Concept art, illustration, visual development, art etc
Go to sleep, it's not necessary. you are trained to be a slave right now. There's nothing to be proud of. They don't enough teach you how to be an architect.
