any advices for fashion design school selection?

Hello, i’m an international student currently accepted for Pratt Institute and FIT.
(hadn’t receive any merit-based scholarship from Pratt)
and my ultimate goal is to get a jot after graduation and start my own fashion brand in USA.
Speaking of tuition, Pratt is $49,000 and FIT is $15,000 average per year.

I’m leaning torward to pratt because they offer more artsy classes and brand-making opportunity(senior fashion show). However i’m concerning that high tuition is worthy…

In FIT, every student must choose one specific major in junior(children wear/sportswear/knitwear/intimate/special costume)
which i dont like very much. i think it confines student’s design area but in a good way, they can focus on their major part.

please comment anything you know, I NEED ADVICES!! Thank you so much.

Have you considered Kent State University in NE Ohio? They are very well known for their fashion design and do give out generous merit scholarships.
