<p>I'm a freshman in college and I'm looking for a credit architecture program in the US and now narrow down to Parsons and Pratt. But the problem is:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>for Pratt, it charges about $ 3100 for 3 credits, 3h per day, 4 days per wk, one month long. ( --> $ 3100 for 48 hours)</p></li>
<li><p>for Parsons, $ 3700 also for 3 credit, 7 hours per day, 5 days per wk, also one month long. ( --> $ 3700 for 140 hours)</p></li>
</ul>
<p>although parsons looks more expensive, it has a lot more hours</p>
<p>Also, how's the quality of both programs? is there anyone attended either one before? I'm thinking about taking architecture as my major but I haven't taken any arch course yet. So I want to take the summer course as a warm up. Or is there any better program I may choose? (I do not have to take it in NYC actually)</p>
<p>How do you think about the two programs? Thanks =D=D=D</p>
