SAME EXACT LIST for art majors. Funny. Here, the art dept. and architecture dept. are almost next-door, and there is like a big rivalry between them about which one is more demanding. It makes it much easier to deal with if you just accept that they are about equal.

Love your signature DesignDawg... what school you go to? I have a friend who's a Design major here... and with Design majors, they always boast about what car company they get to work with ( I guess Industrial Design). Anyway, CMU gets to work with Dodge... whoopee doo... I wish I was out in Kali, the design majors there get to work with real car companies... Nissan, Honda... would love to see what those companies are basing their designs off of...

LOL... I don't know about you guys, but here at Carnegie Mellon University, the Archy's have everyone pretty much beat. There's really not that much competition.. maybe except the Computer Science majors... but then again, they don't group together and cause a stir. They all just stay in their rooms and program away... the art majors.. we don't hear much from them either, we get mad respect here... ARCHY PRIDE WORLD WIDE!!!
