<p>I got accepted to both in the architecture program. Syracuse offered me a scholarship that I won't be able to use and seems extremely eager to have me because I'm pretty sure I'm the only person from my country accepted in arch. They've offered me a scholarship (which I can't use due to previous commitments) and have asked Architecture students to contact me, asking if I needed any help.
On the other hand, Pratt was the only school I applied early action to, got accepted to and wanted to go. I already paid the $300 to save myself a seat for the Fall 12 semester.
But now I'm second guessing my decision. I'm pretty sure I can go back and have some of my money returned.</p>
<p>I wanted Pratt because its in a city, and I do consider myself a city girl. I get extremely bored of the same place if I've been in it for too long, and I've never lived in a town per se. Also, the idea of Syracuse being deathly cold, scares the hell out of me! I come from a VERY hot climate, so I'm not at all used to extreme cold weather. I'm sure I can adjust though. One Pratt student in his fifth year of architecture recommended that I pick another school over Pratt. This also made me very nervous about my decision.</p>
<p>Both are ranked top 10 architecture schools in the nation, which is why I'm mainly considering these. I also got accepted to SCI-Arc, Northeastern, Illinois Institute of Architecture, Penn State, and University of Arizona.</p>
<p>I'd love some feedback from students that go to either SU or PI!
Thank you very much for your help.</p>
