Just curious but why is 'lol' the apporiate response to this question. I asked a question in this group last year about the pros/cons of a mARCH vs. bARCH and received very good responses. Also someone was generous enought to point out that the present school I was attending for my undergraduate degree was not a very well reputed school for architecture. After doing some checking I found out the this was true and had it not been for that response here I might not of ever known.

Isn't reputation of a school an important factor when choosing which school to go to?

Your post (if I recall correctly) was in the form of an intelligent question. What we usually get is "Can you tell me about school X?" Or "I want to get into school X? Please help."

Also...you prolly need to read the rest of the FAQ to understand the question in context.

[JCarr]

It's a fine FAQ, I think. Though the context is probably lost on an occasional lurker such as myself. Sorry.
