NUS architecture school in Singapore makes my head pain and is just a big scam! we are all fed up and really regret choosing this course.
Firstly, they all talking cock about our school's 5-year program. They say it's meant to prepare us to make safe and sturdy buildings, but school just whack us with design projects that are totally not practical.. But,
NUS architecture never really teach us this important stuff!
Instead, they make us do many-many design projects, like keep playing Lego only. Also, why our course so long one? Got extra year but no extra skill. What for we give them more money and waste our time? No point the school, likes to use
NUS brand and say its a top school.
Really scam all the way. scam the parents, scam the public.
Secondly, some say the schools and professors, only care about money. These professors maybe also don't know the practical things, that's why they become teachers. They just want to sit in the ivory tower, act blur, and enjoy the 'college good old days' forever and ever. Then, the big shots in the school just extend the course, because they think got professional feeling.
Another thing is, they keep selling us dreams. But when we finally graduate and step into the real world, then we kena shock. Suddenly, everything different from what we learn in school. Then we work like dog, but the pay peanuts. How to pay back student loans or make a living, and settle down?
Also got some seniors, say their employers think their education useless one. They spend five years studying architecture, but still kena call "worthless" in their own field. Simi sai is this?
So, everyone out there, you better think properly before you sign up for architecture school. It's like they play punk with you only. Kena conned big time, leh!
