Life File #5

After doing the Advising assignment I found out that the curriculum/ major I am part of is Architectural and civil Engineering Technology. After I get my two years degree here at J. Sergeant Reynolds, I would like to transfer and specialize in Architectural/ industrial design. I am not sure where I want to transfers. I did hear that Virginia Tech is a really good architectural school, UVA is also pretty nice and is closer to home, or the other option I have is ODU which is close to the beach and has a very good reputation.
This is my second semester and so far I have completed four of the classes that are required. I have all this courses that I have to take in order to get my two years degree.

I do have many questions about transferring, I would like to know which school is better for what I want to study, I think I want to be a architectural drafter, I would like to know which school is the more convenient for me; money wise, what is the educational level, location, kind of population, and how the college is according to transferable credits; I have heard before that some schools do not accept most of the credits or classes you took to transfers and you have to retake them, and I do not want this to happen to me.
