No, you don't have to be good in drawing.  They will teach you what you need to know.  Architecture is so much more.  One of my sister's has a degree in Architecture.  She took a lot of design classes, architectural engineering classes, art history classes (she has a minor in Art History) and lots and lots of math.  Best thing that you can do is contact the College that you want to attend and have them fill you in on what classes are in the typical degree plan for an architectural major.  Good luck!

Private schools:\n\nOberlin College in Ohio is a top tier school that is generally well known for the creative arts.\n\nBaldwin-Wallace College is well-known for music.\n\nI don't know much about it myself, but Pamona College, CA has some strong programs.\n\nPublic schools (I'm from Ohio):\n\nMiami University and Bowling Green State University are leading competitors in these areas.  Although Miami (my alma matter) may be better overall, it seems to me BGSU has put more investment into music, writing, and education while Miami has strong programs in business, education, and interdisciplinary studies.  Both schools have some "party school" reputations though (don't they all?).\n\n\nOther options:\n\nCambridge and Oxford in England might also be great choices if you have huge wads of money to burn...\n\nMusic conservatories may exist in major cities that I don't know about... Bound to be a great one in NYC, London, etc.

well almost every college has these things in some shape or form. Best suggestion talk to your High school counselor and she will help guide you to a school with the best options for what you want to do. Most of your big state universities are excellent in science, tech and architecture however. yahoo also has a college section so you can research schools there.

Universidad Autonoma de Guadalajara, have good cathedras about architecture, also no is so expensive. Check the web about.Also the Universidad Autonoma de Mexico, but the city is nasty for foreigners, some ones like Tecnologico de Monterrey, expensive and no to much to learn, for me UAG.Also you can take the UAG and have you maestria in Mexico and do your degree here in USA you save a lot a money.

Architecture work is very stressful. The school load alone is very demanding and that is before internship and, eventually, practice. \n\nAs far as what an architect will design, it is purely a matter of skill and luck. Some architects will be designing houses for the rest of their lives. Others will gain some popularity, hopefully in a justified way, and build office buildings and libraries and museums, but this is obviously a very small minority of architects. According to the AIA the average architect's salary is $50,000-60,000; Nothing to sneeze at, but all the same your salary will depend on your skill and luck, which are basically set to begin with.\n\nI would recommend biochem if you are looking for a career with more promises. Architectural asthetics are obviously subjective and not everyone is going to like your work. If you make a breakthrough in biochem, on the other hand, you are dealing with hard scientific facts that can not be so easily/whimsically criticized.\n\nI am going into architecture because I want to do low-cost housing. Not the most glamour filled approach, but I am not doing it for money. It is going to be hard, but I am willing to survive it. If you love and are good at both, architecture will definitely be more unpredictable. Best of luck with your decision.

RISD - Rhode Island School of Design is the number one school in the US for visual arts.\n\nSurprisingly Yale is #2.\n\nYour a good parent to support your child's dream and realize his true talent. I was lucky too, though they were a little shakey at first, my parents have always supported my love for art and I completed my B.A. in Graphic Design 4 years ago. I can't think of anything I love doing more!\n\nGood Luck! RISD looks amazing, if I could do it over, I'd go there, but I might still go back for an MFA

The best schools for fashion design in the US are the Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC, and Parson's School of Design (part of the New School for Social Research), also in NYC. \n\nThere are some other good fashion design colleges out there, but if you got into one of these two, you'll be amazed at the doors that are opened for you, once you graduate.\n\nThe thing is, fashion design is an extremely competitive field. Not only do you need one heck of a fabulous portfolio, but you should also come out of school with relevant work experience and contacts. FIT and Parsons will give you all that. \n\nIf you go to a secondary school, if you have an extremely strong portfolio, you will probably get a job - it will just be easier if you're coming out of FIT or Parsons.

University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign is a fantastic engineering school in the US.  I go there for graphic design but over half of my friends are engineering students.  Its a large and diverse campus that can seem intimidating but once you find your niche (and it isnt hard to find it) you'll find the campus is very welcoming and entertaining.  It will give you, not only a good education, but also the "college experience" that so many students dream of.  \n\ngood luck on deciding a school.  in the end, the best advice i can give you is to find a campus that you love and that you'll be comfortable in.

start by looking up some of the schools in South Indiana, There are many great schools in the area along with some great tech schools.  I live here and I want my children to go to college here.  Once you find some schools look to see if they offer what you want.  what do you mean by brocade? do you mean store/arcade?, because you said you went to a fashion school, so did I and brocade ment fabric.  If you mean store/arcade, you might be better off with a coffee house. they are popular here, you will do well.

Central Michigan University would be worth looking into. They have a good graphic design program. Located in Mt. Pleasant, the university is a mid-major. Division one for sports but a relatively small (18,000) student enrollment. The city of Mt. Pleasant itself is also not large (little over 100,00) but close to a lot of things. This would probably be in the price range you are looking for tuition wise. For more check out www.cmich.edu
