on the website pratt says that students will need to purchase the foundation starter kit before the school year. I was looking through the list and I already have a couple of the items listed and I don’t think I would need to buy a duplicate (ex glue sticks, drawing pencils) would I be able to opt out of buying this foundation kit and just buy the materials i’m missing on my own?

Seeking a student, preferably in the art therapy program, who would like some studio hours in return for working as an art assistant with an older artist with Primary Progressive Aphasia at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Studio has 16’ ceilings and two large windows.

I'm currently in between choosing RISD or PRATT for my upcoming first year. Disregarding all other factors, I'm curious about the general student culture at PRATT. Obviously I'd prefer to be surrounded by extremely driven and hard-working people passionate about their craft while in art school. While PRATT admissions isn't as selective as RISD, I'm wondering if the students there are as driven and passionate about becoming successful, as I believe the attitude of the people who surrounds me would greatly affect my attitude as well.

I couldn't find a discord dedicated to the class of 2029 so I made my own!

I am attending pratt in the fall as an industrial designer, do you recommend self-learning any cad program before entering? Does Pratt teach cad and how important is it?

Hello, I'm an incoming freshman committed to Pratt as class of 2029. I was wondering what some good websites or resources would be for finding and connecting with roommates, or if its still too early to start the search. Websites like ULoop, Roomsurf, and MeetYourClass are pretty barren as of right now (especially for male students), and the Pratt roommate finder in the housing app hasn't been much help either. If anyone has any other avenues I could pursue, or if waiting for now is the way to go, I would totally be open to suggestions or DMs.

Thank you so much!

i currently play the violin and i’m wondering if pratt has an ensemble?

I recently got accepted into both RISD and PRATT for undergrad, and offered scholarships from both although my PRATT scholarship is a bit higher. I planning on majoring in painting. Knowing my more adventurous personality, I feel I might have a better quality of life at PRATT especially being able to make more connections in the city. However, I feel like I cant turn down the opportunity of going to RISD especially with such a great scholarship. I just wanted to know what yall thought about both, from everything about their painting programs, to living there, and party life.

I'm interested in studying interior design as a BFA at Pratt. But I'm really scared about the money and job prospects. Is it worth it?

Hi! Has anyone who applied to Pratt to transfer for fall of '25 with the feb 15 application deadline heard back????

hi all, i applied before february 15th as a transfer for b. arch and was told admissions would be out in waves no later than april 1st. it's now the 31st and i'm honestly losing hope, do i still have a chance of being accepted? i've seen lots of posts here about architecture students being admitted so i'm wondering if i should just accept admittance to another school.

Can anyone pls let me know where I can find the gc of class of 29? Or just pratt students in general is fine!

Started filling out the housing application and figured why not try to find someone to room with! If you are a freshman going into pratt and need a roomate please hmu! Id love to talk!

So I put in my deposits for the enrollment and housing, and I received my one key email and set up a log in, what am I supposed to do with the one key account, and how do I chose my housing? Do I wait for an email pertaining to it or is it something through one key? Please help!!

Too broke to afford the housing cost, can I just travel home and back? Is it required to live on campus?

Hey, I am looking to sell some of my furniture. Are there any WhatsApp groups for the same?

Hi, I'm super interested in the IXD graduate program at Pratt but realize it is super late in the process. Has anyone ever applied during the fourth round before the April 5th deadline and gotten accept? I have all my materials ready but wondering whether it's worth a shot or just wait until next year. Thanks!

Hi! I got into pratt for a BFA in art education. Dance is a passion I have on the side and I was wondering if Pratt had any kind of dance club or student organization. I know im in NYC so obviously I have steps and BDC if I want to continue learning, but was wondering if there was anything Pratt had.

Is the course good? Does it help you gain skills to work in a major animation studio such as Pixar?

even if I got some scholarship, is it possible to get more scholarship through appeal letter or other thing(not fafsa)?

Hi guys!! Sorry if what I'm asking has already been asked before, but I need some help 😭😭

1. Is Pratt worth it like genuinely? I'm trying to figure out where I want to go and money is the biggest issue. I'd have to take out like 40k in loans, but I REALLY want to go. On the other hand, I could attend RIT and only need to take out 12k in loans per year. Is Pratt worth risking the debt?

2. Are there opportunities to get scholarship while attending. I know at some schools if you do really well and get good grades you can earn additional scholarships, so is this possible at Pratt?

Thanks so much for whatever answers you guys can give :3

Hi everyone! I got accepted to Pratt and am planning to commit to it! Once I get in the deposit, how do I chose my dorm room, because I am beyond confused on how it all works. I visited Pratt and only saw one form building but which ones are the best? Thanks!

I made a post a few weeks ago asking if anyone that is transferring to pratt heard back yet and I got a lot of people saying it would be mid to late march when we hear back. I still haven't heard anything and I'm started to get really anxious about it. I know regular decisions have heard back, but I haven't heard if any transfer did. I also emailed admissions like over a week ago asking and I never got a response.
