<p>I'm a mom for a senior who got accepted to RISD and Pratt. We live in California.
I know RISD has one of best art program, however who has better architect program for undergraduate? Need to reply soon. Help.</p>
<p>It’s could be a bit hard to say as both are design-oriented schools. RISD, from what I understand, places all arch students in its foundation art/design program for the first year.</p>
<p>Pratt, on the other hand, immediately places the students into its architecture program 100%, or close to it. </p>
<p>Pratt is in NYC; much better for jobs, internships, etc.</p>
<p>It’s a hard call. Both have their strengths and weaknesses. Where would your HS Senior like to live for the next five years? Providence or NYC?</p>
