  The BAC is a scam, They use open additions to pray on young students, get them in the system and $50,000 in dept, and then have a number of hoops to jump around before they can continue with the education. Like practice reviews and portfolio submissions, things every other architecture school doesn't require.
  
  I was a student there for 6 years before transferring to a state school to finish my architecture degree at 1/4th the cost. It honestly is a better education as the faculty higher-up consider you their peers and are not power hungry like those at the BAC
  
  With a $35,000 a year tuition and a completion rate a 5%. The BAC needs to be investigated for corruption.
  
  Things I went through while at the BAC:
  
  -They lost 1/3 the campus but tuition went up that year,
  -They highered a professor who lived in Chicago, He canceled ever other class
  -After failing a structures class they fired the professor for her incompetence, but my grade remained the same.
  -Even when I had double the work hours required to move to segment two, (working with an architect, builder, and land surveyor) they held me back for not presenting my practice portfolio in there layout form.
  (I was un-aware there was such a template, something that would not have been overlooked at my state school because the staff actually has time to look out for you)

  I am a graduate student from BAC in March. six years' studying in the school but already got 4+ years working experience at premium architecture firm in Boston. The school have good reputation in Boston area. But enter with caution, you have to commit high dedication to yourself rather than counting on the school only. This is not a academic only colleague, but counting on "practice credits" also. There is no starchitect professor that would make student famous too, you have to cultivate-self with extreme effort.

  A friend of mine was stupid enough to join this college, and though she (and still) thinks it is awesome place - however, any sane person would see how overpriced the place is, and when she discovered that she won't graduate after a certain specific number of semesters, she still thinks the place is awesome. Apparently, you can have negative IQ - but, to each his own. Still the place is overpriced, overrated, and does not deserve the effort. But again, to each his own.

  I'm a current student. Just an advice to all incoming student make you have a portfolio and save all work from previous college classes. To all freshmen make you have some knowledge of elevation, and scion drawings as well as section drawings.
  Other than that the school is a beautiful college, and the view of the college is beautiful at night, and the teacher are supportive. But make sure you really are dedicated to the major you choose to study.

  Three stars because of my experience working here. Not bad but not exemplary either.
