What is the daily life of studying urban and rural planning?

As a freshman majoring in urban and rural planning in the School of Architecture, my first reaction to this topic is: planning students' daily life-drawing! Make a model! Stay up late! Stay up late to draw! Stay up late to be a model!

Most of the urban and rural planning majors in colleges and universities belong to the school of architecture, which tends to design. Therefore, there is not much difference between freshman and sophomore courses and architecture majors, mainly focusing on architectural design. The purpose is to let students master the basic knowledge of architecture, standardize drawing and exercise their drawing ability (some schools will pay special attention to cultivating the ability of hand-drawing and modeling in the lower grades, which requires students to invest a lot of energy, time and hair).

This is some homework for freshmen, all of which are hand-painted and hand-painted. There are countless bright nights behind every homework. )

There are not many public courses for students majoring in urban planning (although urban and rural planning belongs to engineering, we don't learn big things or probability, and only need to learn liberal arts for high numbers), but we have to learn fine arts and descriptive geometry, so freshmen are basically spent in "painting", and there are few contents related to majors in lower grades, only two courses, an introduction to urban planning and urban planning principles, and the teaching content is relatively shallow. The remaining courses in the lower grades are basically the same as architecture.

After consulting the seniors and sisters, I found that with the growth of grade, the learning content will be closer, the planning will be deeper, and research may often be needed, and the direction of considering problems will change from simple design to comprehensive consideration of human geography space. About my junior year, I officially contacted planning, doing real planning projects and some urban social research reports. Everyday words are still inseparable from planning, making plans, changing plans, losing hair (crossing out) ... The fifth year is basically an internship.

Different schools may have different emphases (I feel that our school places special emphasis on design courses). Generally speaking, urban and rural planning is a comprehensive specialty, involving many factors such as economy, politics, humanities and environment. A lot of knowledge must be acquired through extracurricular reading. Every new plan may require you to learn new things systematically, so read more books, think more and enrich your knowledge every day!
