Student Reviews
Memphis is a great start :)
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars
The University of Memphis is a fantastic University for an aspiring architect. The program provided me with some of the most insightful and inspirational teachers I have ever known. The school is exceptional at teaching the conceptual phases of architecture, and helping us to understand the "why" of buildings. There is also a focus on the importance of sustainability,...
In coming freshmen.

Good university . One thing I don’t like is regarding Graduate assistantships most of them are already occupied by Indians and they give them to their family siblings like that and others don’t get the opportunity.I’m also an Indian but that’s the truth
