| USC vs. Pratt
Well I have been accepted by USC and Pratt, but I'm not sure which one to choose. I'm worried about the future after attaining the Barch degree because USC is in LA whereas Pratt is in NY. I would like to know the good and the bad about both schools and how they compare to one another. My mom is very focused on me attending Pratt because it is located in the NY area, where she feels I will be more successful as an architect. I'm just hoping she isn't making the wrong decision for me. I know that I should be choosing the college on my own, but it feels she has already decided on me attending Pratt. I would like to know what USC has to offer. I feel that I will be missing out on the social life at USC if I attend Pratt, but the working conditions (by that I mean the studios) at Pratt seem to be more... well better. To whom have first hand experience with USC or Pratt please take your time to read this post and type your thoughts out. I'm very confused right now. I will list my thoughts.
1) Not sure where it is best to practice architecture (LA or NY).
2) I still want a social life and do outside activities (I like to breakdance and want to join a club).
3) Which schools offer the best and most connections.
4) The style the schools focus on (As in their style of architecture such as research).
5) I would like to try something new because I am from the NY region, so LA could be the right change.
6) I have more, but have currently forgotten them.
To those who have taken their time to read this thread, thank you. |
