Hi, I’m currently deciding between Purchase and PRATT at the moment and was wondering to get some insight. I got accepted into Purchase’s Graphic Design program, New Paltz Graphic Design program and PRATT’S communication design program. At the moment, I’m leaning towards Purchase, as the tuition is so much lower in comparison to PRATT. I’ll be transferring once I finish my associates degree in fine arts at my CC. My only real concern right now is how the programs themselves are and if it would be worth it to go into so much debt by going to PRATT.
How many years can you reasonably expect to be at Purchase vs. Pratt? As a private school Pratt’s going to be more expensive but public schools can have a longer time to graduation. Not sure about SUNY-Purchase.
Good luck with your decision. My D1 is finishing up her foundation year at Pratt and starts in ComD beginning this fall. She really loves it there.
