Is there a lot of maths involved in architecture? I suck at maths and add-maths too.

What about non-local Unis like Taylors and so on?

Other than Taylors, what other non-local Unis offer architecture?

All must go overseas?

When u do an architecture course, will you be so occupied that you have little time for everything else? Do you rarely watch TV? What about EPL, F1 etc? Don't get to watch?

OMG, architecture sounds tough as hell. It looks like it takes a toll on your social life and probabbly health. No time to watch movies?????? How to get inspiration then?

What is it you guys do during that final summition? Is the thing you guys do a lot of maths? What is it exactly? What is it that takes SO MUCH TIME? Can a person actually complete the task with more than enough time to watch daily tv and other things beside the architecture course?

So it's not really headcracking right? Just about drawing first, then seeing if it's practical and stuff right? Basicly continuous improvement until date of submission right?

How much time is normally given to do the task?

you design with pc right?
