High dropout rate for architecture - BDonline


Compared with other subjects, students on architecture and related courses are the sixth least likely out of those in 20 course areas to return to university after the first year. This retention rate lags far behind that for medicine and dentistry, which has the best one, at 97.9%.
The facts are laid out by the article, but the explanation of this phenomenon is some what poor. I think that for most of us it is a combination of the 3 below reasons:
  1. Heavy load of coursework,
  2. High financial burden,
  3. Poor level of satisfaction and/or achievement. 
All work and low grade makes one an archi dropout.
