Starting architecture school soon and need some advice? Chris Morley, UniSA’s first year course coordinator shares with me (a third-year student) his best advice for starting architecture school.
Chris talks about what separates “successful” students from “unsuccessful” students, and the key factors that will help you throughout your first years of studying architecture.
Going into your first year of architecture school?
Today I interview Serena Rakha from Lebanon, a student who has recently finished her first semester of architecture school.
On episode 21 of the Successful Archi Student’s Podcast, Serena shares her experiences of what to expect in your first semester of architecture school and what equipment and skills you need to do well.
Serena also shares the names of architecture books she’s found helpful along her journey and has some tips for students struggling to stay motivated.
Thank you so much for sharing your experiences with us Serena.
Last week, I asked the Instagram community of Architecture students (@successfularchistudent) what they thought was the most important thing to know as an architecture student (or if you want to become one).
I was genuinely amazed at the responses I had gotten. Students from all over the world summed up what they thought was the most important thing to know as an architecture student, and it inspired me to make a video about their replies.
In this episode, I share responses from @trigger444, @egle313, @logori96, @seanbroomy, @dlau0741, @andrejriger, @edurom.48 and @_honnappa. Thank you so much!
I run through the things I wish I knew before and while in my first year of Architecture school.
Specifically, I’ll talk about:
• How to not fall behind with work
• Avoiding the temptation of giving into the judgement of others
• Learning from your mistakes
• Not getting “stuck” – tips for not getting distracted and wasting time.
