What Students Are Saying
Get ready to work hard. Work really stack up, but yeah, party hard too. Also, must be responsible and take everything seriously. Late work is really not tolerable and crap work is even worse.
Kanisorn from BROOKLYN, NY
Visit the campus. It's really a nice place to be. Also, look up all the teachers for the department you're thinking about majoring in and their work. This will be very helpful in determining if there are teachers that can help you grow in the areas that you need. Also look up the instructors in other departments and the classes that are offered. There are some interesting courses like the Circus class or the Harry Potter class.
Jeremy from Rochester, NY
If you plan on attending Pratt remember not to doubt yourself. Your work will come out a lot better if you are self-driven and do not constantly compare your work to that of the students around you. The ability to hold onto your individuality will help you stand out.
Odette from Mclean, VA
Research and prepare! Attend National Portfolio and get your portfolio reviewed, email admissions people, visit the campus. Just try to show you're interested and keep your grades up while having a strong portfolio. They look at the big picture as I was told, so if your GPA is lacking try to make up for it with your ACT/SAT scores and your portfolio! They won't cut you down because one part of your transcript isn't the best.
Alex from Atlanta, GA
Learn to sleep less and drink more coffee. Work hard, don't fall behind, be tight with your money (city=expensive), make friends quick, respect your professors, don't skip class ( you can only miss 2 each semester )
Hannah from Fort Worth, TX
Do your assignments a few days before they are due, that way you can look over your work and fix things you may have missed the first time. Time management is everything, you will get quiet a few projects at once and if you don't work out a smart schedule you'll find yourself falling behind.
SIERRA from Belleville, MI
If you want to go here, you'll have to work. You will be working a lot, the classes are pretty long compared to other colleges, and the work loads are heavy but it is completely worth it if you really want it.
Jessica from Brooklyn, NY
Make sure your portfolio is in tip top shape, also make sure you are ready for nonstop work, and competition. this is a school that make you or break you. Be prepared for real critics and critiques, because Pratt is the real deal, the gateway into the world of art.
Amanda from Glenmont, NY
Stay on task from the jump start. Do not underestimate art school. It will work you to the breaking point and beyond. But you will see the growth. Put your all in everything you do. And do your best to stay awake during art history lectures.
Anthony from Brooklyn, NY
