Pretty much impossi let since the studios are during typical practice timewe were afraid too. we thought you guys were crazy. And not getting any sleep was just a small part of it.
makes me curious - has there ever been a human being that played FB or basketball at Tech who got a degree in architecture? I simply can't imagine anyone pulling that off.
USNews used to weight lower retention rate negatively (I don’t know if they still do). It was a point of emphasis on the early 2010’s to make getting in harder and getting out easier to help with our rankings. It’s still hard, but it is hard in a different way now.
Karl Barnes, the first African American player to play a game at GT got a Masters in Archtecture. Dude must have been sporting a set of huge brass ones to accomplish all that so early in life.we were afraid too. we thought you guys were crazy. And not getting any sleep was just a small part of it.

You get out of the military, you get out of training camp, etc. What you're saying is that you endured an extremely taxing and difficult endeavor, by persevering and not quitting. You accomplished something worthwhile and achieved something with true value. You can perceive it as negative and convey it as a negative or understand that "getting out" in this context is synonymous with "making it through." That's something to be proud of and something that should be lauded, not criticized.
+1 Went on warning after 3rd Quarter Freshman year. Battled through school and work but GOT OUT with a degree!!
Wonder if that was after his playing days....You can get a Master of Architecture degree in three years with a non arch undergraduate degree.....at least you could in the past.
Actually, the Arch Building was on on my route through GT and am very familiar with the rigor and amount of time spent in that place. In fact, I'll bet more lamps are changed out in the fixtures in that building than in any other building on campus. Energy management through lighting control is virtually worthless in that place.Guess you never went never the architecture building.
I didn't mean to slight those folks.
Yep, check out the next U.S. News and World Report ranking criterion.
+1 !!!!!
Longest I stayed up was a Tuesday morning to Friday night....then slept for 24 hrs. It was very common to skip classes to work on a studio project. A studio was required every quarter, so if you failed, you added a extra quarter. Failing other classes could be made up without falling behind.Actually, the Arch Building was on on my route through GT and am very familiar with the rigor and amount of time spent in that place.

That's brutal. Made a good architect out of you, didn't it?
He must have been miserable. Between football, studio, and sleep,are there any hours left in the day?
I’m guessing most of the Architecture Masters came after he was done playing football. Back in those days campus was only a half mile wide, there was no cable tv & no internet to surf. Left a bunch of time to study & crap like that no doubt.
