I was admitted by Pratt and RISD fortunately, as an international applicant. After a lot of research, I still cannot make a choice. Please help me if you have any suggestion or information.
Pratt: Its Interior Design Graduate Program always ranks No.1, and NYC is the most attractive advantage. But this program requires 3 years since my major in college is not interior design. I doubt if it's worth to invest one more year, since I have been working for six years in this field, not a fresh graduate any more.
RISD: Its reputation would be an advantage when hunting for a job in many countries. The program is interior architecture rather than interior design, with a focus on adaptive reuse. It only requires 2 years. But I'm not sure if this major which is between interior and architecture would be easy to look for a job. And I have concern if going to a small city is a good idea for graduate study.
I am curious about how you people in US view these two schools. I have heard that administration in Pratt is bad and they seem care less about students. I don't know if it's true.
What I consider about most is the employment after graduation, resources for students(alumni, internship, etc.), and student life (school environment, workload, personal life, etc.)
