A group focused on the application if current trends in stormwater design including Low Impact Development (LID) and Environmentally Site Design (ESD).
what school did you apply to in the UK I graduate next spring and also looking to apply to a couple abroad schools, are the requirements the same i.e GRE and GPA and stuff!
I applied to school in the UK but everytime I get on this forum I am disheartened about the conversation about lack of jobs in the field and even people questioning the viability of LA and its future. Setting that negativity aside, I am still planni…
Good for you...
Have fun in Europe, experience all you can, get used to cheap Ryanair flights and don't forget the wellies!!!
Best of luck to you

I am aware of some fairly quaint notions in the US regarding the UK. Those maust not be mistaken with facts.
I am not debating any academic matters. I am informing on the state of the profession and its institutions in the UK, according to the info…
"You asked a simple question and deserve answers that stay on topic" Thank you for this, Tim.
Since when the reality of the profession in any one country is not "on topic" to a prospective student? Since it may affect the earnings of an opportunist…
Thank you for all the different perspectives. I too am not quite up to date with the issues surrounding the LI however I dont think those issues will be enough to sway me from attending school in the UK. In fact I have already accepted a place at Wr…
Kate,
I am sorry to have provoked a diatribe in this thread. You asked a simple question and deserve answers that stay on topic. My apologies for this and best of luck with your choices. All issues aside, the UK is a great place to be.

There is no political debate whatsoever, going. This is a point of principle and ethics.
Prospective students wishing to study to the UK must be awre of the issues surrounding thier education, which will be considerably onerous in financial and per…
Kate, getting back to the original question and ignoring the political debate... You have to remember that a UK degree will be very horticulturally based with a smattering of construction, a US one will be more diverse and feature a lot more constru…
You should not be so proud Tim.
The Iwanttobealandscapearchitect move is a largely failed exercise with little grounding on landscape architects needs.
It amounts tolittle more than a cynical recruitment exercise designed to provide ever more chea…
Dear Kate,
I'm an American who has worked and practiced in the UK, and I now teach landscape architecture at the Writtle School of Design in Essex. It is worth looking carefully at all the UK schools, as they each have their own specialties and eac…
Hi Kate,
Right now, I would not recommend trainning in the UK in the field of LA.
The Landscape Institute, the professional body that represents LA's is virtually bankrupt in rather disturbing circumstances. Moreover, a few years ago, Jasdon Prior…
Hi Kate,
I worked there for about 2 and a half years and I would say the systems are drastically different. One of the biggest differences is that construction isn't really part of the field. You won't be pumping out CD sets over there. From speaki…
Just remember to take more money with you then you think you will need...
It's very expensive over there.
Plus a good waterproof coat and some comfortable wellies!! ha ha
Thanks for the reply. It helps to get different perspectives. I'm really excited about living in the UK and getting my degree. Now I just have to hope the economy improves a bit before i re-enter the workforce.
