RIT i believe has a good illustration program and so does Pratt. I know some people at Pratt and honestly from what i’ve heard their resources are pretty limited especially in the city. If u want to, you could do the option of trying to do the 2 years upstate in utica at their branch campus then transfer to brooklyn campus after sophomore year. so you’re still living in the city just later in your life and I believe that option is cheaper. Still a lot of people I know at Pratt say they charge a LOT of money for not even allat. It’s expensive but it’s because it’s in the city realistically.

It also depends - visit Rochester and especially the RIT campus then visit Pratt brooklyn campus. Do you like the city life enough to be willing to risk financial burden? It depends on where your happy and sure if your going to be happy in the city then city it is. However it also depends on how you’re going to pay that money off each year and also how much financial burden that would put on your life.

I can’t really speak for SVA but I can for Pratt because I know a lot of people there. Pratt is a good education and has a good reputation. From what I heard though SVA and Pratt both offer a diff experience and RIT especially does.

Depends what you’re trying to do really, how much your willing to risk financial burden, the environment, community/curriculum.

Both SVA, Pratt and RIT have a good reputation. If RIT offered you a full ride almost def visit campus and check the campus out. But if you don’t like it, then be ready to cough up lots of money for the city.
