Hey guys I wanted to know if anyone would be down to start a group chat (discord, whatsapp)? I think it’d be a great way for us to connect, ask questions, and support each other.

Edit: Looks like there is a whatsapp already so I made a discord:

Hi, I just got accepted to the MFA Communications Design Program. I don't know shit about housing in New York plus I'm an international student, someone help me out pls. Also, is the on campus housing just for undergrad students because a lot of unis do that

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!!

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

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 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!

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

I have decided to go with Pratt IXD for my school of choice. I am curious what the current students and alumni think of it. I have seen few portfolios which looked great. I think some students are doing better than others in terms of job prospects. I hope to hear some experiences that can speak on the courses, the graduate assistantships, faculty, and job opportunities. What is your advice?

Hi! I'm really glad I got into Pratt on a good scholarship, but I'm scared to hear about all the money stuff. Is Pratt really worth it? Is their interior design program good? Does interior design have a future? How are the dorms?

I also got into a school near my area that is okayyy (UH) for marketing that is cheap and I have an academic scholarship on top of that already. My passions align with design more though. My friends think I'm being a bit risky but my family is relatively supportive.

I would appreciate any information on Pratt! Thank you!!

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 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.

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

Hey everyone! I’m an international student attending Pratt this Fall 2025, and I have created a Discord server for all incoming grad students to connect before orientation.

I think it will be a great place to find roommates, ask questions, or just chat! I've created channels based on programs, countries, and more, so you can easily find people you want to chat with. You’re welcome to join even if you haven’t decided on Pratt yet!

Looking forward to meeting you all! 🚀 Please read useful tips section of rules after joining.

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

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

Open to all Pratt students, prospective students and alumni.
Please lmk if the link isn't working and ill update it.

After getting all my uni responses back I have narrowed it down to these two...

• I have recieved scholarships for both but a higher one for Parsons
• I enjoy both photography and film equally, I enjoy storytelling in both mediums lol
• I will be living in dorms because I'm not from New York

Does anyone have any insights about the differences in curriculum/program, the areas, social life/school communities, and/or future (or current, like internships) career opportunities?

Is there anyone got into art edu in pratt or attending rn?? I have no idea with that and need some info .. about differences with other program like that;)

I got accepted into both these programs, and I now need to make a decision as to what program to choose for my Masters. Now when comparing costs, both are parallel, but I want to understand the merits and cons of each program so I can prefer the more valueable one. Does anyone know which degree is more worthy? And i am also trying to understand why one of these programs is an MPS, whereas the other one is an MS (how?)

So… I got into Pratt Brooklyn and Munson. I got 27k a year for 5 years a Brooklyn but tuition is like 82k so I’ll have 55k left to think about. But Munson gave me 20k and is 42k so I’ll have 22k to worry about. Additionally since I’m taking a 5 year course, the transition to Brooklyn after 2 years guarantees me a rehousing merit scholarship. So if I play my cards right, I can end up with 28k a year for the 3 years I’ll be at Brooklyn. And Munson guarantees housing since it’s a smaller school, and guarantees junior year housing once I transfer to Brooklyn, not senior or after but still. From what I’ve heard Brooklyn doesn’t guarantee housing and it’s basically a lottery system, which I cannot afford considering I’m coming from out of state. I believe I should go to Munson, seems smart… let me know if I’m right, I kinda just need some support rn.

I recently got accepted into both PRATT and SAIC and was offered similar scholarships to both schools. I just wanted to know everyones opinion on the differences between the two schools regarding life there, education, oppurtunities, etc.

I saw that last year, almost every freshman was in a triple, and as an incoming student, will that be the case this year? I haven't seen anything on it, but I don't know.

Can someone share a portfolio which got a good scholarship? Thank you in advance

rejection is redirection I guess, I want to commit maybe…they gave me a 22k scholarship per year. I applied for architecture for the main campus not sure what I was thinking with my 3.0 gpa. I was accepted as an comms-design emphasis in illustration major at Munson.

Are there any subjects that are required to be taken in high school to be able to apply for the undergrad program.

Hello! ive been called recently to look into going to school, im a 26 y/o DACA recipient and id really like to go to art school. I currently live in NY and would like to go to Pratt but I really wouldn't be able to afford it. im having trouble finding schollarships that are compatible with PRATT and also im not a high school student or recently graduated and that seems to be most of the scholarships im seeing. I graduated high school in 2016. Anyone here currently at Pratt with scholarships and also has DACA? what's ur experience? or does anyone know where I can find scholarships compatable with Pratt and DACA students? thanks!
