Love the education i recived but it aint my best choice

Course Curriculum Overview:

Well, the thing i really loved about architecture was the practical aspect. Gave me more space to look things different. The journey to the real world seem well prepared cause we learn from the experts who teach us the beginning to professional difficulties. The process was tough, but you did look back and wonder you did do more. I did say depending on college for your knowledge wouldnt be entirely a good thing. As this profession cost you a practical knowledge , learn about things from other sources like youtube or articles. Lack of exposure in terms of fast phase world can be a huge challenge
