UTSA School of Architecture is pretty nice.

It's a downtown campus, all of your classes are downtown and the parking isn't that bad. You will work in a studio which is open 24/7 anytime you want. The first semester of Design I will be crazy, they will give you a new project per week with weekend projects on top of that but they will assign things like a plaster project, a basswood project, a project working with light. Be prepared to buy lots and lots of supplies, you will not get a break at the school of architecture anywhere.

Anybody who's anybody at UTSA will tell you about Mark Blizzard, be careful when you take his class. His class is Architecture & Culture. You will be required to write three pages of essays a week single spaced and you will also have to do photo essays. It is extremely demanding. Another teacher is Jon Thompson, he is an excellent teacher and you will like his class, Architecture & Thought. He has an excellent class and you learn a lot from him. Great teacher. Other good teachers are Webb for Design I and try to take Jon Thompson for Design III.
