Alright, Pratt can be split into two different entities. The faculty and everything else.

The faculty is great. The teachers are great and willing to teach the students. I am going for an Animation major and find my teachers to be the only reason I'm staying at this school. They are great at teaching and work in the real world when they're not in the classroom. They are an inspiration to the students.
Now for the rest of the school. The buildings are falling apart. The food is awful unless if Pratt has some 'family weekend' or something. The dorms are prisons, they leak when it rains and it takes weeks to get just the phone working. The tuition is ridiculous, you'll pay about $120,000, not including expenses for books and supplies, but the time you get out of Pratt. The equiptment is outdated and you're lucky if it even works so that you can do your homework. The administration sucks up the money but sees the student as an annoyance. You have to fight to get into classes you know you'll hate, and then other classes jump out of nowhere that you have to take whether you need to graduate or not. Every student I have seen has to take an extra semester on top of the normal four years so that they can graduate.

Here's one great example of the stupidity of this school: A kid enrolled in Pratt at the same time I did, but he had a full scholarship given to him by Pratt while I am entirely paying by loans. He was awesome, the teachers told him throughout the year that they couldn't teach him anything. He could master any project given to him. At the end of the year, Pratt decided to take away his scholarship, supposedly because he wasn't coming to classes (though the teachers told him he didn't need to). He got kicked out because he couldn't pay the tuition a few weeks before the year ended.

The school's motto should be:

You are not here to learn, you are here to pay us.

commentIt is easier for the schools to get high qualified staff of female teachers from here with the help of your teaching job descriptions. One must look this website to get plagiarism free essays. One of my friends has experience in teaching I am pretty sure that he would love to join your school.
