Pratt Institute-Main Top Questions

The food is expensive and not good, and also the cafeteria is only open till 7pm. We have a place called the pi shop. It is full of oily, unhealthy foods.

To be honest, how much it costs. Coming from a single-income family, it is hard for my mother and I to afford the loans I am forced to take out every year.

I understand that in an art school, purchasing supplies are crucial, however, it seems as though there is a lack of supplies offered to students. The tuition itself is a lot, as well as everything else that a student must spend money on. As a graphic design student, I am frustrated with the fact that color printing is so expensive. I feel that there should be a system that provides free printing for communications design students to help us save some money for other much needed supplies .

Being up all night in your studio instead out in the city that never sleeps.
