interior architecture vs. interior design

<p>My d. has been accepted to RISD for interior architecture, MICA for environmental design and Pratt for interior design. She is having a hard time making a final decision. Can anyone lend some insight?</p>

<p>Hi Everyone,</p>

<p>Ok, I've read so many posts today, and now realize that I was definitely not specific enough in my post. Based on a criticism I will try to get more clear in what I'm looking for in recommendations. We have visited all the threaded campuses. Many postings on other forums have addressed the physical campuses, but I am seeking more personal experiences on each of the campuses. Basic things, challenge of the programs, satisfaction on campus in dorms and surrounding areas and information on the specific design areas my d. is accepted to. Her impression of MICA was very favorable; RISD is a bit intimidating and doesn't seem to care whether or not you accept their admission offer; Pratt might just not be enough.</p>
