Which has a better M.Arch? U of Oregon or U of British Columbia?

Asked by adr (439points) April 22nd, 2012

I am looking for help in choosing between the two masters programs in architecture:

University of Oregon
-in Eugene, Oregon (small hippy university town)
-hardly any development in Eugene
-option of transferring to Portland in second year
-incredible facilities and high caliber professors
-expensive
-funding available if Teaching/Research Fellowship is attained
-ranked #1 in USA for sustainability
-ranked #6 in USA overall for M.Arch program
-well integrated with landscape architecture, interior architecture and business departments

University of British Columbia
-in Vancouver, British Columbia
-beautiful, fun, big city with lots of new developments (good potential for jobs after degree)
-less impressive facilities
-affordable
-completely separate from the landscape architecture department

I know a lot more about UofO’s program since I went to their Grad Open House, so any info on UBC’s program would be GREATLY appreciated.

All in all, any info or opinions on either of these schools or cities would be awesome.
