This school is very corrupt. 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.

questionWhy do you need to work in the labs? Don't you have a laptop?
commentThe campus buildings are falling apart. The library sucks. The shelves are all broken, books in terrible condition and cannot be found and the librarians at the reference desk are just rude, doing their own work and they act like you are bothering them when you ask them to help you. Don't waste your money going to Pratt. The administration is terrible, lots of politics going on and bad organization.
