Hoping for some feedback to make a decision. I am on the West Coast with not a vacation day in sight so no open houses for me :/
My concerns are mainly art school vs university, location, networking ability and scholarship availability ( a question for those who go to either school). I'm still wait listed so we'll see what that does to rock the boat but for now, these are the two contenders :)
I would say Pratt b/c of location and reputation. I know Syracuse has a good rep as well, but the location isn't ideal. Pratt is in NYC so I'm assuming you will have more opportunities. Also, I like the study abroad program at Pratt better, I don't know if that is a big deciding factor for you. But both are great schools, so you're good either way!
Pratt is ridiculously expensive. But they are also really closed mouth and non committal about their statements concerning other opportunities to get $$$ in subsequent years. That's a little shifty to me. Hmm. Study abroad is a good thing to look into. Although I noticed Pratt doesn't have any semester options, only summer.
Any other opinions ? I'm really at a stalemate here :/

If you go to Pratt you'll learn nothing but software for a whole year
@laps3
what do you mean by that? Do you find that to be a pro or a con?
@thinkgreen
it depends on what you want from your master's program.
if you want to learn maya, rhino... then it's a pro
Pratt, hands down.
