  1. In terms of pay, it depends on what sort of art you do. If you were to do digital media, for example, from a good school, with an internship and a strong portfolio, you could do well, financially. Certainly out-earning an entry level architect, as architecture, except at the top levels, tends to pay kind of low (in the US at least.) Math, depending on the career path you chose, could pay the most, especially if you combined it with some classes and an internship in a highly paid vocation such as computer programming, statistics, hedge funds or actuarial sciences, and went in that direction after you graduated. But on average, the highest paid would probably be math, and the lowest art, unless, again, the art you did was digital media of a very high standard.

    I don't know your exam scores and etc., but a school that may interest you, based on your interests and on the fact that you are Deaf, is the Rochester Institute of Technology, in NY. It's got a very highly respected art program, a strong technology basis, is a reputable university, and it also houses the National Technical Institute of the Deaf, and thus both has a lot of Deaf students on campus and is well versed in providing any adaptations you may need for your classes.

    Another school that you could consider, although I'm not sure of the strength of their art programs, is Gallaudet. It's a historically Deaf university, and it ranks very well in terms of liberal arts colleges in the US.

    And naturally, every university in the US is also open to you - not just Gallaudet and RIT. I just mention those as potentials. You'd need to check them re: architecture, as I'm not sure if they offer that major.

    In terms of a great US school which offers top-level programs in all three of the things you listed: art, math and architecture, you can consider Carnegie Mellon. It's quite strong for those disciplines.


  2. you need to start preparing for your educational adventure. Here are a few tips to assist you before you go.

    Decide what courses to take

    When selecting the courses you plan on taking, be sure to take full advantage of what studying in another country has to offer. If you're studying in Paris, what better place to take French—if you're studying in London, take British History. In other words, wait until you're back home for that Intro to U.S. Government class!

    Choose your accommodations

    Depending on what program you're attending, where you'll be living may already have been decided for you. Other programs—particularly language study programs—may offer you the option of either staying in student housing or with a host family. If you really want to immerse yourself in another country's culture, staying with a host family is a great way to go. Not only do you have more opportunities to use the new language skills you are learning but you also get to experience the lifestyle, customs and typical daily life of the country you are studying in.

    Check your travel documents

    If you have a passport, make sure it's valid for at least six months after your return date. If not, apply for a renewal. And if you don't have a passport yet, apply for one far in advance of your departure date. Also be sure to check with your program to determine if a student visa is necessary for the country you'll be studying in.

    Attend to money matters

    Most cities abroad have ATM machines that allow you to withdraw money from your checking account back home so there is no need—nor is it advisable—to carry large amounts of cash with you. However, double check with your bank to make sure you can use your card at foreign ATMs. If you have a credit card, bring it as well. It's also a good idea to take a small amount of cash and travelers checks with you. Most North American banks can order foreign currency, so if you'd prefer to land in your destination with a few Euros already in your pocket, you can do that too!

    Keep in touch

    The easiest, cheapest and quickest way to stay in touch with family and friends while you are studying abroad is email. If you don't already have one, sign up for a free Web-based email account you can access from anywhere. Cyber cafes can be found in even the smallest towns around the globe these days. Before you leave, send a farewell email to your family and friends letting them know the email address they can write to you at while you're gone.

    It's also a good idea to purchase calling cards before going abroad. Make sure you find out the country code and access numbers you'll need before you leave. And if you promised postcards to anyone, remember to compile a list of mailing addresses to take with you.

    Pack light

    Be practical. Forget the "cute little shoes" that only go with one outfit. The idea here should be mix and match—pants that match multiple tops, shoes that match multiple pants—you get the idea. Less is more should definitely be the mantra here.

    Do your research

    In the weeks and months leading up to your departure, try and learn as much as you can about the country and city you'll be studying in. There's an abundance of information that can be found on the Internet. The more you know, the easier it will be for you to adjust to your environment and take advantage of the opportunity ahead of you. The bottom line is your study abroad experience will be whatever you make of it - so make it great!

  3. Out of all of those you would be most likely to find a reasonably paid job choosing Maths, in which case it doesn't particularly matter too much where you go..somewhere with good lecturers?? Maths is universal. Art is a bit of a dead-end degree. Architecture, i'm not too familiar with.. but i'd be willing to gamble that there are not the greatest number of jobs in the field...you can really only do one thing. So i'd say maths. I know in Australia you can do 'double-degrees' in just about anything, so you could indeed do maths and art. Don't know about the UK or US.
