As far as the writing major is concerned, the professors genuinely care about what you are doing as a student AND as a person. I've had many of my professors from freshman year, first semester still contact me and ask how I am doing and if I need help. They really do want you to succeed and are willing to help as much as possible AS LONG AS YOU ARE WILLING TO ASK FOR IT. Don't expect to be treated as a child though or babied (except in grammar class, which you should test out of). You will have to fend for yourself. You will have to ask for extensions. You will have to be punctual. And you will have to ask if you want some extra help or just want some advice. They give a lot initially but they cannot be expected to give out every bit of advice or help you with all of your problems UNLESS you ask for it. The professors are also very flexible and understanding. The workload isn't really heavy, but your studio classes and special topics classes do have a lot of work. And it builds as the semester goes forward. Sometimes it seems pointless, but it eventually pans out that you've grown SO much as a writer. | Collaboration/Competitive: A+, University Resource Use: B+ |  | | |

Pratt is a great school if you put the time and effort that you need into your classes. The students here are far from pompous, extremely friendly, and bright. Of course you run into a few not so nice people just like anywhere else, but for the most part, the students are nice. The campus is BEAUTIFUL, and although it is in Brooklyn, I do feel relatively safe. Sure things can happen but overall, it's a nice area of Brooklyn with lots of cute cafe's, restaurants, and shops. Not to mention it's a very quick subway ride away from Manhattan, which is an incredible resource for any major. The professors are all working in the field and very knowledgeable. The workload is heavy, especially once you get into your major. Those who say it isn't are just scraping by and aren't putting the time into it that they should. If you want an A, you have to work for it, and once it's achieved, you definitely feel it was worth it. I love Pratt and I have recommended many others to the school, all of whom also enjoy being here and learning what the professors have to teach. | Campus Aesthetics: A+, Faculty Accessibility: B |  | | |

| Bright | Pratt is like any college experience, it's a beautiful campus, it's pretty small so everything is kept close knit, the Financial Aid office sucks, the Gym is alright but they tend to close the floor sometimes for events, Library's alright. Very clean campus, but also very cynical, as all businesses should be of course, a lot of charade and making things look good, like wasting a bunch of money on the lawn so the parents see the pretty campus, but there is no mention about the Rat infestation in Willoughby (which is one of the Dormitories), or the fact that the 'Emergency' booths that have recently been place around Pratt, were 'out of service' for about 2 months after installation, of course they put these up for Parents day, so everyone was happy, but needless to say there was no demonstration run. Anyway yeah, Pratt's great, great rep, great teachers (if you know how to find them) and great resources. | Campus Aesthetics: A+, Individual Value: D+ |  | | |

| Quite Bright | The best attribute about Pratt was the location, the relevance to Art & Design and the networking. Pratt is well respected in Art, Design and Architecture and finding a job in these fields was never difficult. | Starting Job: Designer, Preparedness: B+, Reputation: B+ |  | |
