Major: Fine Arts - Painting/Sculpture/Photography/etc (This Major's Salary over time)
I was a freshman at Pratt institute for the 2016-17 school year. I was in the foundation department. I had a very challenging first year experience and I had no doubt that I should transfer somewhere else for the rest of my college career. I did not find my teachers to be of the high quality Pratt promises. The academic advisor for my fine art major did not help me on several occasions when I went to her for help, and within my first month at Pratt she was encouraging me to transfer out instead of helping me with the struggles I was experiencing. I went to the head of the foundations department to get help switching out of my classes taught by unproductive and under qualified teachers to no avail. I felt completely worthless at Pratt Institute and as though no faculty or staff member truly cared about the students that put so much time, money and energy into their eduction. I truly regret that I chose to attend a school that could overlook so many issues with faculty and staff and would make me feel so helpless.
