Was very excited to visit Sciarc for the first time. Everything looked funky in the first glance. We were given a tour but my excitement did not last as I noticed a few odd situations. Firstly, the campus.. there is no campus to be honest and it means there are no facilities a campus may have! There is a parking area if you would like to have lunch or breathe, however, it is NOT smoking free and cigarette buds are all over the ground, you will also need to walk further away into the parking to breathe fresh air as smokers gather in the entrance. During the tour, it was mentioned that sciarc is contributing to the environment and homelessness! I thought it could not be any further from the truth as I could see the school environment and the broken desks and chairs students were using which was another strange thing for such an expensive school. That simply shows the level of care the students would receive there.
Next was the attitude of the students. I took some time after the tour and tried to speak to some of the students. Not much luck. Only a few were open to talk. It is correct that you meet many Asians but I did not expect such a high percentage. It is honestly more than the 70 percent that I had read in the reviews :)) In terms of education, students said that there is a lot of pressure and they need to spend a lot on their models, 3d printing etc. The school seems to focus a lot on ideas rather than practical aspects of architecture. As a result, when you graduate you will have little technical knowledge in comparison to a lot of surreal ideas which companies may not be willing to pay for as you will lack skills of an architect. The school seemed advance in softwares though if that is a path you may want to take,m, so advanced that you will barely use that level skill in the real world. In general, if you have tons of money and you like to discuss ideas, learn softwares and not work as an architect for the rest of your life, sciarc is the place for you.
