best place to study architecture?

[fitwit3]

Hi
i live in York, england, but have been offered a place to study architecture at UCD next year. i have also been offered a place at Nottingham in England.
Does anyone have any advice for which to choose? which is the best place in ireland to study?
thanks

thats a tough one to call. i would say ucd has on the whole a better quality of lecturers and some would say is the best architecture college in the country. on the other hand all the recent student awards have been swept by DIT or queens. once thought of as a poor relation to UCD, DIT has upgraded its facilities to a very high standard and is becoming the better place to study (even better if they lost some of the deadweight staff). as with any college tho the courses are what you make them.

The Bartlett, London is probably one of the best

thats looks like a no-contest, nottingham is currently rated as the best school in britain (yes its ahead of the bartlett). You have the finest lectures (neil leach et al) in Britain on a very fine campus.

all depends on what you want... more creativity or more academic knoledge... if ya choose 2nd - than the best is MIARCH (well ...i say like that cause i study there ...on da 2nd course already) ) ...MIARCH is the central architectural uni in Russia ...located in Moscow city :P the only difficulty is that you should know russian )))))))))
