A note from the author
Architecture school is a challenge, regardless of the country you reside in, or the university you attend. You will have days that you think you want to give up, but don’t. Architecture school may be frustrating, but it is teaching you more valuable lessons than you realise; both professionally and personally. If you put in the time and effort to make it to graduation, you will be in possession of a set of skills that you will utilise for the rest of your life and that make you a far more capable individual than most.
I wish you all the best for your studies and future endeavors.
