two summers ago I participated in a month-long pre-college program at pratt. (for drawing & painting, but it doesn’t matter; my roomate was architecture.) But anyway, it kind of is like that. we never had mice but the dorm bathroom flooded every day. the floor was concrete and kept getting nasty and muddy from people’s shoes. i wished there were locks on the doors, but we did get used to knocking. my main complaint about Pratt in general would be (and i think this is the same for a lot of people who’ve seen the school) is that the facilities are somewhat run-down. I didn’t have a problem with the quality of the classes (and even now that I’ve actually seen some other art schools, it’s still comparable) but things just seemed to be wearing out. the dorms I was getting used to, but maybe only because I knew I’d be able to leave in a month.
