关于RISD的SUMMER Program 的问题很多人都有，我昨天打电话过去问了，前前后后转了4次线，最后说对方再SPRING BREAK，我只好发邮件。下面是对方的回复，大家自己看，不知道你们的SUMMER PROGRAM 可不可以WAIVE 掉？另外，我原本有一些奖，但是64000的学费实在太贵，于是问问对方还能不能再给奖，但是对方回答不行，还有ESTIMATED COMPUTER COST的WAIVE 问题，大家给点意见。这个学校很不错，但是真的太贵，即便现在我有奖也还是读不起，但是因为钱的问题放弃自己心目中的DREAM SCHOOL总归是很遗憾而难过的，各位有没有什么良策？

邮件内容如下：（对方回答和我的问题）

Re: I want to waive my Estimated Computer Expenses both Summer Program‏

Summer Session is a condensed version of Foundation Studies, a year long course of Drawing (free-hand, not architectural); two Dimensional and Three Dimensional Design given to students in all majors, (Painting, Apparel, Photography, Sculpture, Industrial Design,etc.) Because RISD's Architecture Program is unique in being in an arts college, this common experience is seen as an asset. This is not a technique based series of coursework. Its emphasis is on developing how one sees and thinks and is geared towards the development of the visual mind. Faculties that Summer Session is intended to develop are abstraction, sensibility, material reasoning, material imagination, spatial cognition. Our pedagogy in the architecture department is operating off of this foundation. We speak to the creative process that it awakened. You would be alongside other students who have done the full year foundation coursework and others who majored in studio arts previously. If a prospective grad student has completed the equivalent coursework and has demonstrated ability in these areas, then the summer session is waived. If not, then it is a disservice to waive this arts foundation. Architectural design studios and Architectural drawing is not equivalent to the coursework covered in Foundation Studies or Summer Session.

I personally reviewed your portfolio and transcript and made the determination that you have not completed appropriate coursework in these areas and that the summer program would benefit you. There are plenty of graduate students past and present at risd who have undergraduate degrees in architecture and have gone through the summer program...so the idea that a degree in architecture exempts one from this coursework is mistaken. I will add that the students who have gone through this experience are glad that they did. It would be a dis-service not require it.

Unfortunately our fellowships funds are limited. You are among a select few who were offered the $11000 fellowship in addition to the $5000 assistantship. I am unable to offer any additional scholarship funds.

Please contact Dave Brown (dbrown@risd.edu) regarding the request to have the laptop requirement waived.
I am cc'ing Dave and the Dept. head.

Best,
Kyna Leski

Dear Kyna

I am writing this email to request waiving my estimated computer expenses and summer program(Summer Foundation Studies).

I already have a personal lap-top with very high quality, which was specifically purchased for very senior operations of AutoCAD, Sketchup, Rhino, Photoshop, V-Ray and any other kind of software for architecture design. Frankly, the estimated computer expense is not necessary for me and I strongly request waiving it.

Today I received the package from RISD to be notified of the Summer Foundation Studies from June 15th through July 24th. However, my Graduation Days are expected to be within June 30th and July 5th. Before that time, I am still an undergraduate student of Zhejiang University, my current univeristy. So it is not possible for me to attend this summer program.

Moreover, I would very much appreciate your answering some additional questions below.

Currently I am accepted by 7 architecture schools including RISD. Based on my currently offered scholarship, the school's academic strength and reputation, RISD is substantially under my consideration. However, since the estimated total cost of the first year is over 64,000$, even if I could waive my estimated computer expense both the summer program, there is still 53,000$ to go. Considering the scholarship RISD offered me of 11,000$ for tuition waiver and 5,000$ guaranteed assiatntship, as an international student, I still need to declare my financial ability for the rest 37,000$ in order to get an I-20. This is still a vermong RISD's peers.

So my question is, is there any chance or opportunity right now for me to apply for some additional scholarships or financial aid?

It would be very kind of you for answering me these questions that are quite critical for me.

Thank you very much for reviewing.

Best Regards,

program, RISD, Summer

能在RISD拿到这样的奖学金，真的是很高了
最近的确在放春假
很希望能在RISD见到你
不过，还是好好权衡一下经济状况，和家里好好谈谈，听听爸爸妈妈意见。他们很不容易的

6# sweetbuddy 这个奖学金是我还再坚持这个学校的原因，我想请问第一年之后的费用会能下降一点吗？比如做TA或者再申请经济补助等等？钱是一个非常大的因素。
另外，我本科就是5年的建筑专业，能不能在RISD WAIVE掉半年以上的学制？比如只读两年。请问有没有先例？

对方说SUMMER PROGRAM不能WAIVE的话那我还真的来不了了啊，签证都来不及，而且那时候还在毕业论文答辩

就说还没毕业，管summer school那个老太太还是很通情达理的，免掉应该不成问题
我就是暂时没想通今年怎么要这么多人上。去年大陆也就我一个人（囧一个……）
你保证成绩绝对高的情况下，奖学金会提升的。
建筑系实行那个“圈圈制”，会把成绩不好同学的奖学金扒拉到成绩高的人的脑袋上
过来的话，一定要血拼
TA的机会还是蛮多的，在学校里也可以找找其他打杂的工作

今年客套话说的真多，虽然我没定我还要继续argue,甜姐你觉得RISD建筑系是属于比较偏艺术化的那方面还是会注重一些实际化的建造，结构，技术方面的，方便的话加一下我的qq msn,我给你短消息了
