Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Fine Arts - Painting/Sculpture/Photography/etc  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Quite Bright Listen. Pratt is a Fine Arts based institution. I simply cannot recommend this college to a Media Arts based student like myself. You will be fuddling in all the Foundation courses they have you take, and you'll be upset at the elementary-nature of the Media 101 classes. On another note, I know that most of the professors (the Fine Art ones that is) are very intelligent and insightful people, who do, in fact, get you better at whatever subject they're teaching. But is it worth it? Do you want to be learning what they have to offer? I have to respectfully abstain, because I wanted to be in Film School; this is simply nothing like it should be.

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.

I would say that the only departments that live up to any of these negative reviews are any department dealing with money for example Financial Aid and the Registrar. The kitchen staff has recently become friendly as most of the employees are on there 4th year or more. That at once seemed to be a problem. Worst part of Pratt is the security. I have never had a problem with safety at Pratt but the security must be the most rude uncaring people i have ever met. Mainly because there are only about few PRATT SECURITY employees, the rest are hired through an agency. If your thinking about applying and having an interview at Pratt. I would suggest bringing that to the advisors attention. All negative comments aside. I have had the best 4 years at Pratt. It transitioned me into a long life here in NYC and put me at a job that seemed only like a dream or part of movie. A lot of students never experience pratt they only touch the surface. If your interested in burrowing in your dorm room and being anti-social, do not come to pratt in order to succeed you need to pull yourself out of the cave and gain experience.

I'm graduating this coming year and I'm leaving without a school diversity. This school has a horrible acceptance rate to minorities. The international students that are accepted do not fully accept the mandatory english that is spoken here but are still chosen to be here for the fact that they can afford it. The majority of minorities are from HEOP in which this school is trying to shut down. They increase tuition each year in which I never see where the improvements are going. They finally fix up the buildings ONLY because they are incapable of safely conducting classes. AND the CLASSES IN FOUNDATION ARE HORRIBLE. The hardwood floors are deteriorating. It's disgusting. Too much money is being used for non-progressive things. There aren't personal computer labs for my Communications Department. I have to do my homework in a regular lab whereas the Architecture/Digital Arts have their personal computer labs. The President and the administration have poorly misspent the money that is circulating throughout the school. VERY CORRUPT. I truly believe my professors and department faculty are doing the best they can with what they have and that's why i remain. But overall, the school is not worth the money. When I came into this school, I fell in love with the campus and the student life and truly believed my knowledge and creativity would expand. And to this day, I fully support the education I've received from the Professors I valued. However, the longer I spend here the more I hate knowing that my school is "pretty" on the outside and ugly on the inside. The condition of this school doesn't uphold the reputation of this school and especially with the president we currently have, education, especially art, will become too privatized and only the privileged (the rich) can attain this education. And this should never be the case. Useful Schoolwork: A+, Individual Value: F Have a Question? Your Response/Question:     To be informed when someone replies to your comment.
