CRD Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 Howdy, I live in Dallas and I graduated from Texas A&M with a BED in '97. While I didn't go to either of the schools you were accepted to, I can tell you my perception of them. I work in a large architectural firm and I'd say 60-70% of the office are from Texas schools. We have a lot of Aggies, some Texas Tech, a few UT. But I don't think that we have any from Baylor. Texas Tech has a good reputation as a technical shool, UT is artsy, and A&M is in the middle. So after all that, I guess my point is that TT has a good reputation and Baylor doesn't even have a reputation. I'm not saying Baylor is a bad school, I've known several people who were very happy there. But I can say that TT is a good school. The only problem with TT seems to be living in Lubbock. You either love it or you hate it. Of course, A&M would have been the best choice. :ebiggrin: Hope this helps and good luck. Gig'em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camby Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 As a graduate of A&M myself, I agree with a lot of what CRD said. Lubbock would be a great place to live if you were a cow...haha..just kidding. Seriously, between the two I would recommend TT also if only because A&M is not a choice. What are your plans/goals after graduation. Do you want to become an architect or work in graphics or both? Good luck with your studies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cocojonut Posted April 4, 2003 Author Share Posted April 4, 2003 thanks for the replies...Thats exactly what i was thinking, as for my plans i dont know yet but i'm sure i'll decide while going through the college experience. From what I heard, lubbock might not having any attractions but they have a lot of hot women there....hahaha...I would have gone to A&M had i applied but it never crossed my even though i live in Jersey Village (outskirts of houston, off 290)...The only reason i thought of Baylor is because my mom and dad are freaks over Baylor...But it seems that im off to LUBBOCK...thanx again guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dollus Posted April 10, 2003 Share Posted April 10, 2003 You could be making a BIG mistake. Baylor is not an NAAB accredited architecture program. Texas Tech, on the other hand, does offer a M. Arch. degree that is accredited. This could really impact your career! Of course Texas A&M has a high reputation for it's M. Arch. program - Can't go wrong there.
