Pratt is THE BIGGEST REGRET of my life so far. It was the biggest RIP OFF on the planet. The tuition is ridiculous, and the supplies they force you to buy from their store are even worse (half of which I never touched or used). The grading system is unfair and makes no sense. Every teacher would choose a few favorites and if you weren't one of them then you would pretty much fail. If you think that you will be living in a New York City environment FORGET ABOUT IT. Pratt is in the GHETTO right near the projects. When I was a freshman some girl got clubbed to death only steps from the campus. I never felt safe walking to the subway or anywhere outside the campus. If you want to get to Manhattan you have to wait for the G train, and it comes about every 45 minutes. Then it takes another half an hour to get to the city. The people are not welcoming at all, it is very hard to make friends. The foundation year is SO hard, you won't have a life. That doesn't matter however, because there are no parties (and if there are, THEY SUCK). There are so many great art schools to choose from that are in Manhattan, GO TO ONE OF THEM. If you want to go to a disorganized, weird, dangerous, overpriced, overrated, and miserable school then Pratt is for you. If you want a good experience and good education go somewhere else.
