Syracuse or Pratt?

<p>I've been accepted into the MArch I program at Syracuse and Pratt and I'm having a hard time deciding which school to go to. After graduation I'm planning to work in NYC and use my skills in interior design and architecture to work for a firm that would specialize in hospitality design. And eventually I'd like to start my own firm. My question to the CC community: based on the reputation and quality of the programs at Syracuse and Pratt, which school should I go with?</p>

<p>pratt and syracuse are two very different schools. if you look at pratt's work, it's very centered on research, digital fabrication, and a lot of contemporary work whereas syracuse is a little more grounded in formalist ways of thinking. you'll get two pretty different educations so decide which area you are interested in</p>

<p>good luck!</p>

<p>What about their undergraduate programs? My S has the same choice.</p>

<p>Just to add on to this thread - I heard that Pratt architects are well known in nyc area, what about those from syracuse? Are they well respected, considering that currently SU is ranked #3 for arch?</p>

<p>thanks</p>
