In response to Taxguy’s recent Pratt post in which his D deceided not to apply to there.

Taxguy,
oh well… too bad I guess my D won’t get to meet your D. With her stats your D pobably would have qualified for alot of fin aid. My D was a counselor at a sleep away camp this summer and said she can’t wait to get back to school, or as she puts it “the civilization that is the city”.
In fact my D will be going back early as she is on the Hall Council for her dorm and will be welcoming new transfer students. I guess so much is how things are perceived, when I brought up your D’s concerns to my D, the things your D had issues with weren’t even a concern for my D. She says she is learning so much, loves the profs and programs and the diversity of students she has become friends with and of course she loves the area and does not see any issues with safety, feels that the connections Pratt has to offer is superior and will be looking for a paid internship next summer so she can stay in the city. Though I should also add that my D is from a NY suburb and did alot of peer traveling while in HS and dormed and took classes at SVA when she was 16. Her comfort level might be different then your D’s in regards to city life. Keep us informed and good luck to your D.
