What was the rough break down of time spent in the intensive at studio…i.e. was it just like undergrad where everyone is up until 4am, or was it a little bit more controlled? Any personal time while you are in Boston or is it strictly filled with studio time?
STUDIO TIME… bring a camera! You have time to take site seeing pictures between trips for coffee and the last minute trips to Johnson’s. No, really bring a camera, there will be times the class will go on small trips and you will want to take pictures but that will be about all the time allotted for “personal time”.
Out first year we went to Moshe Safdie’s office and then to Trinity Church to see him speak as well as to the new ICA by Diller+Scofidio+Renfro and hear them speak, second semester we toured the Genzyme building by Behnisch, Behnisch & Partner and spent some time at the Ray and Maria Stata Center by Frank Gehry. So there are opportunities to site see but you will be with the class and it will be presented by the BAC and well worth it!
a. Studio time or time at the BAC is scheduled and there will always be things to do… scheduled from 8am to 10pm
b. The earliest I went back to the motel was 12:30… the latest was like 4am… and that was only a couple of nights. The first night it was like 1130 and the last night we get done at 7pm, then we went to Cheers… so expect to put some hours in.
c. Although this may seem scary and regimented, everyone at the BAC is laid back and easy going. Come to learn and it will be all good.

If you want to sightsee, take Monday off of work and sightsee Sunday and Monday morning and take a late flight home. It is tiring, but it is worth doing at least once during your BAC career.
