最后的挣扎，大家帮忙看看吧Umich&Wustl

davidxwcUID: 2565292

结果基本上都出来了，心里大概也有了想法，不知道对不对，最后再听听大家的意见吧！

我申的是March 3.5y

Umich
1w奖学金，学费第一年有暑期4w4，后面一年3w3，生活费按1w算，假设后面每年都有1w奖学金，3年总计花费是
4.4+3.3+3.3=11w, 合人民币大概75万

Wustl
1.7w奖学金，学费一年要3.9w，生活费也按1w算，假设后面2年奖学金一样，3年总计花费是
(3.9-1.7)*3.5+3=10.7w，合人民币大概73万

花费差的不多，但是都很惊人，倾家荡产也能去。自己心里比较想去michigan，觉得地理位置比较好，公立前三的名气也比较踏实，教学质量听别人意见都觉得差不多。

也有便宜的学校，但是心里放不下michigan

大家怎么看？最后再给我点动力吧。。。。

去Umich吧，那边建筑系感觉比WUSTL功力深厚些

同LS，而且貌似WUSTL治安不太好。。。。。

其实无论是Mich还是WUSTL，都会往芝加哥发展的，地理差不多；不过Mich倒是安全
再说WUSTL名气挺好的啊，综合12啊

UMich的校友网是无比庞大又震撼人心的，而WUSTL基本集中在中西部HOK等公司。。lz如果想留美国工作，建议选UMich

I am just done with WUSTL's open house today, and it looks like WUSTL offers quite a comprehensive training in which students would have nothing to lose.  It's neither conceptual, practical, structural nor digital, it's pretty well balance in each area.  There are 12 option studios for you to choose from besides the core studios.  If you are going there for their MArch 3, then you could join their study abroad program for two semesters.  Faculty are pretty strong, friendly, and approachable; students are pretty supportive to each other.  I like the learning environment and campus but St. Louis itself is not a very exciting city.  After viewing students' work, it looks like it is a very promising program, and you can foresee yourself being a successful architect in the future.  Other than that, they are really generous in money - almost 2/3 of my tuition is waived by scholarship, it's a really good offer.

Thanks for every detail. It is very helpful.

I got a good sense of their program and faculty, it's way much better than I expected.  It's the feeling that WUSTL would help you out to become a successful architect.  They want you to succeed and would offer help and support to where you want to be.  

The only downside is the location; St. Louis itself is not an exciting city and it's not located in the Northeast region where those universities could share resources.  However, I think the school is trying their very best to bring in people (students and faculty) coming all over and having abroad programs to Seoul, Finland, Argentina, Spain and somewhere I forgot.

thanks for sharing!

9# calarch1 Thank you very much for information you shared! Now I am back into the problem of choice again. My biggest concern is money. WUSTL's tuition is pretty high and my scholarship can only cover less than a half. Besides, the scholarship situation after the first year is not clear. Umich's tuition is lower....

calarch1UID: 2796373

I suggested you email or talk to Brian.  In the open house, he said that financial aid students would get in the up coming two years would pretty much the same as their first year and of course with plus or minus, but we are not expected to have huge differences.  I am not sure about their criteria on getting scholarships though.
