<p>Thanks very much for the really quick reply Taxguy!</p>
<p>I read your post about your Pratt visit, and am still searching for the SVA visit post.</p>
<p>Outside of comments on it’s reputation for Fashion Design there do not seem to be a lot of comments on these forums about the other programs at Parsons and it’s making me nervous that perhaps going to Parsons for something other than Fashion Design could be a mistake. But that may just be me being an overly anxious parent.</p>
<p>It’s interesting to hear that Pratt is very artsy and not commercial because up to this point I’d been assuming the exact opposite, probably because I’d heard that Pratt focuses strongly on technical skills and so assumed, perhaps wrongly, that it was more vocational than other schools.</p>
<p>My son has been screen-printing and selling t-shirts for the last year and he’s interested in getting an internship to one of the NYC street-wear companies to pursue that interest a bit further. This is another reason he was thinking Parsons could be a good choice, that they would have good connections in this area. But I’d personally prefer he went to whichever school will provide him with the best opportunity to develop his technical skills (which I’m assuming is driven by how good the faculty is?) and offer good internship opportunities.</p>
<p>Does this prompt any further thoughts?</p>
<p>Thanks a lot.</p>
