When potential students or project clients ask me which is the best
architecture or design school, I usually give them the names of a few
institutions but also insist: 'don't take my word for it, get hold of
current students or researchers there, and ask them what it's like'.
Even that approach is limited: people inside one institution are not
ideally placed to compare their own experience with that of their
peers in other ones. Citation league tables are a guide, but tell
only one part of the story. There's a gap here: 33 million people in
the US have rated a product, service, or person using an online
rating system - but not, so far as I can see, the big ticket purchase
of a design education. Design portal Core 77 hosts a lively forum in
which students exchange opinions about design courses and schools -
but these exchanges are anecdotal. Is there a ratings system for
education out there that I've missed?
