Tuition, Cost & Aid

A little too expensive, but the professors are experienced, and many have taught in other prestigious institutions like Parsons or RISD. Most are also practicing artists. The equipments are quite high tech. As for buildings, they are old and lacking elevators; however, they are aesthetically beautiful. Also, Pratt is the biggest sculpture garden in NYC, so that's worth it. Also, being a Pratt student allow certain advantages such as entering museums for free.

Depending on how good you are is depending on how much you're getting your money's worth. Although I feel like I am learning more and more everyday, I almost feel if you are talented enough you could try finding internships and making your way in the design world that way. Going to school will get you the technical skills to help prepare you if you don't have them. Yet I feel that if you are creative enough you might be able to do well on your own by just looking for opportunities in the companies and fields you want to go into. If taking that route, it probably wouldn't hurt to just take a class or two each semester if you aren't thinking about full-time.

The level of education and quality of the teachers are fantastic but the administration is not always as organized as it ought to be.

I don't know about everyone, but I was offered an incredible merit scholarship and of course it doesn't cover everything, but most of it is covered. Try to get as many scholarships as possible because in the long run it helps a lot, especially because New York is so expensive.

An art school in the city is going to expensive, very very expensive. Get a scholarship if at all possible. The experience is great and well worth it if you can find the means to pay for it.

As expensive a school as Pratt is (tuition on average is 27,000 per semester), the money is definitely worth it. Things that are broken are fixed within the week, communal bathrooms and the cafeteria room are cleaned daily. The school is constantly upgrading it's buildings and equipment to the best for it's students and the campus is always catered to. The teachers are friendly and help to build you up as an artist, architect, or author and the classes will always teach you something new and important.

It may be expensive, but there are so many opportunities for financial aid. All you have to do is look and work for them.

Pratt is really expensive for someone like me, my family is already drowning in debt from my mothers two college loans and the fact that my father is losing his job and i just can't leave my parents stranded. If my financial situation was different i would do it for sure. But for someone with the money it's worth it. The curriculum is phenomenal and worth the money.

I will most definitely be in debt by the time I graduate. But with all that you learn and the lifetime access to career services, you are basically guaranteed a successful career. And the people you meet here are the world's best! Professors and students alike. The connections made here will last you a lifetime.

As an art school, we always have to pay for the materials, that part s always an bang for the buck. but its worth it, the day u finished ur model. u will know that feeling of worthiness
