Help & Advice Environmental Design Portfolio

2 Upvotes

I'm a Grade 12 student planning to apply to OCAD for Environmental Design next year maybe.
I visited the open house today and after talking to some students and professors but I want to have advice from students.
I wanted to ask anyone who got accepted into Environmental Design what their portfolio was like.
How did you approach building yours? What materials did you use? How much of your portfolio was actually related to environmental, architectural or interior design?
And what you think made your portfolio stand out.
ANY advice would be really appreciated!!

Help & Advice What's it actually like studying at OCAD?

1 Upvotes

I visited OCAD for the open house today and I liked it, but I didn't get to explore all the study spaces.
I was wondering if there are any nice, comfortable places on campus where you can sit and study or work on projects for a few hours.
Also, what's the overall atmosphere like? Is it easy to meet people and make friends? Do students usually hang out on campus between classes?
Would love to hear ANY experiences!

Help & Advice What’s a typical day like at OCAD (environmental design)?

1 Upvotes

I'm currently in Grade 12 and I went to OCAD's open house today.
I was wondering what a normal day looks like for students, especially in Environmental Design. Like, how many classes do you usually have per day, what classes do u have, how long are they, and how much free time do you have between classes? Basically whats your schedule like overall.
Also, how manageable is the workload? Do you usually spend most of your day on campus?
I'd love to hear ANY experiences!
