As a student, yes, goodness yes! That is one thing art and design programs don't tell you is the cost of supplies. I speak from experience. There is nothing like spending $50 to $100 on a design project each week and go before the panel to present and have a professor, grad student, or visiting architect come and rip a part off as they make design recommendations/corrections or mark up drawings with red ink or a black Sharpie. I would stand there and hear a cash register in my head as they break my work into pieces, but it's all for the student's improvement. As a practicing architect, no you don't, the costs for supplies are covered by the firm, but they stay at the office! At home, you'll have your own stockpile, and trust me after five years of school, a stockpile is what you will have. If you open your own practice, then the cost of your supplies will be a part of your company's overhead.
