I
got into Pratt and a small elitist art college in
DC. My mom warned me that no one would take
care of me if I went to Pratt. That was
the dealbreaker for me; I had to go to Pratt.
Oh, if only at 17 years old could i have
listened to my mother... I was a reclusice and pensive
a.k.a creative child. I kind of a kept to myself
and did my thing in high school. If this sounds
like you, dont go to Pratt, it will destroy your
life.
Even if you are working 100+ hours a week
for 4 years, you will never succeed. Simply, because there
is no solid direction at Pratt. What Pratt teaches is
on level with psycho tr?pic torture: layer upon layer
of different direction/assignment. Few still teach strict programs (where
you do the same thing over and over) , some
who try and teach creativity (laughs) and many who have
no idea what they are teaching but then take the
failure of their class on students. Believe me, its not
funny, its a horrible nightmare of hell with fire.
Secondly,
if you are blessed with money and a lot of
luck, you might live near campus. If you are supppper
lucky, you might have just enough space to work in
private . However, most likely, you will not be lucky
( remember this is not Disney world) . You will
live farrrr from campus, or with a heroin addict who
rapes you in the night and steals your stuff. You
will lose all your sanity and dignity. But dont worry,
Pratt has stream lined its academic program. So you are
ready to navigate the unemployment office online.
