Architecture College. Help me to make the right choice.

Hi, I am an italian student and the next year I think to attend in US College which have a professional or pre professional degree in Architecture (B.S. in Arch. or B.Arch ) or Urban Planning. Because I have recived some admissions letter from some College, I would like to have an advice about this question. What College I have to choose among this listed below ?

Wentworth Institute of Technology - Boston Louisiana State University A&M - Baton Rouge Lousiana Tech University - Ruston CUNY City College - New York City University of Nebraska - Lincoln Arizona State University - Tempe University of Kentucky - Lexington North Dakota State University - Fargo University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV) Mass College of Art - Boston California State University - Fresno ( Interior Design ) UMass - Boston ( Community Planning ) UMass - Amherst ( Community Planning, Landscape Architecture ) Southwest Missouri State ( Community Planning ) Southeast Missouri State ( Historic Preservation, Interior Design ) Minnesota State University - Mankato (Urban Design) UConn ( Landscape Architecture )

Thank You.

For what it is worth, this is the only school that is on the USNews list of top graduate schools. While you are aiming for an undergrad degree, the ranking is probably still indicative of something.

try this one...

By 'admissions letter' do you mean you have actually been admitted to all or some of these schools, or simply that you have some correspondence from their admissions offices?

Forgive my asking, but how did you put this list together? It seems like a very odd list for a foreign student, since it does not appear to include many (any?) schools with the kinds of reputations that would be expected to draw students all the way from Italy. Do they have some kind of specialized programs that interest you, or are they especially generous with financial aid for foreign students? Just off the top of my head I can think of at least 5 architecture programs in California that are generally superior to the California schools you have listed. Did you get any advice from knowledgeable people in putting this list together?
