My daughter just finished up her sophomore year at Pratt in ComD and loved it. Not everyone has the same experience as the poster above. Quite possible to get the short straw w/r/t teacher selection etc. (although for the most part my D thought her profs were excellent, she’s had at least one who wasn’t). Best to visit and ask current students in your program of interest what they think of it (or perhaps why THEY have chosen not to transfer). Pratt has shortcomings, for sure, but my daughter thinks it has been a significant net positive for her so far, particularly in terms of professional training and skill development.

Edit to add: My D’s freshman roomie was a foundie in architecture and the program was grueling, to say the least. Not for the faint of heart. LOL. Highly doubt that is any different in other highly-ranked schools.
