The professors are awesome. They're always always there.
If ever I need some help and it's like 9 at night i can always send out an email and I'll
know they'll answer.
I love the professors, they're really helpful.
At first they are really intimidating because it's so much bigger than high school, but
they are just really there to help you succeed and they want to see you do really well and
they strive to do that for you.
Students are encouraged to use our facilities. We have carpentry workshop.
We encourage students to use those workshops for example to build wood frame models.
So they learn by making models.
I want to get into custom home design.
I want to work in a architecture firm, so whether that be as an architectural technician
or technologist, or like the architect itself, and have my own business.
This could help me get a university degree, so I can possibly pursue having my own architecture
firm.
We have also a CAD lab facility which has the most advanced AutoCad and also building
information modelling software, and also we have a couple of houses that are built beside
adjacent to the college which are used as demonstrations.
I want to get into custom home design and my sister will be my interior designer, so
basically somebody can come to us with a budget and we make it happen for them.
It helps you prepare for so much, like there's so much that i didn't know about, now like
you think about it your like wow that actually, that makes a lot of sense and you're going
think about it day to day in your job when you're done.
Students do have many possibilities.
They can work as architectural technician or architectural technologist in architectural
firms.
Could be construction firm, engineering firms.
Work as building inspectors within municipalities or federal agency.
We want the student to succeed in their studies, and also in their future life.
