<p>Penn,</p>
<p>Pratt is a great school and it is difficult to be admitted. Even though the name includes the word “Institute”, it’s considered one of the strongest art colleges in the country. The list includes RISD, SCAD, and other renowned programs. It’s a college with graduate programs also. So, not the neighborhood “institute” that may also offer on-line architecture degrees. Additionally, it’s very, very expensive.</p>
<p>The campus is urban and very nice. The neighborhood is improving and seems to have many signs of continued gentrification. </p>
<p>If you’re looking for programs that are not “super hard” to get into, I agree with pageturneer. Please have several other options for your Plan B.</p>
<p>Best of luck to you.</p>
