受访人：Paul Yang
个人信息：13年毕业的的Industrial Design专业的研究生
1.你在普瑞特的老师如何?
How do I think the professor? tell you what， in American,teacher doesn’t really teach. they are all in very American way to make you have your own thinking and idea， but when your thinking is bad then they will told you that is not good. and they always tell you to read the books by yourself， so I learned anything so far from my self from the book not from the professor， but I did get some good idea of design from the professor too. So it’s hard to say they are good or bad.我觉得教授如何?告诉妳，在米国啊，教授不会真正教你东西的，他们使用非常米式的教学，让你拥有自己的思想与点子，但是当你的观念不是很好的时候，他们会告诉你，还有，他们总是告诉你要自己去念书，所以我大部分都是从书上学，而不是跟教授学的，不过我真的有些在设计上的好点子是从教授那边学到的，所以，这真的很难说，我的这些教授是好还是坏哩~~
2.当你还是学生的时候，找工作容易吗?我是说，跟设计和艺术有关的工作.
THE INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS can’t work when you are still studying in school， that is the law….but if you get the H1 visa or student practical trng then you can work in NYC， for CGIM-3d animation major， is really hard to get a job in NYC-NEW YORK CITY after you graduated， many animation jobs are in LA，but if you do the web design， then I can tell you this， the company are looking for you，and you don’t need to go search the company here.[国际学生]依法是不能在学时打工的喔!!不过如果你拿的是H1签证，或是学生实习课程时，你才有办法在大苹果市工作，对于主修CGIM-3d动画的学生来说，毕业后在大苹果市找工作真的粉不容易!!去洛杉矶找工作还比较轻松，不过如果你专业是网页设计，我告诉你，根本不用找工作啦!! 工作会自动来找你喔!!
3.为什么普瑞特在某些设计领域是提供MS的学位而不是MFA or MA?
ok for the MS and MFA degree question… because you only need 54 credits to finish the MS degree， if you want to get MFA then you must have to take 60 credits. and in Pratt many design major they are not only teach you how to design， they also teach you how to marketing and management and you also need to read like history of design， history of art， and some the other classes…as I know if you want to take the MFA degree in CGIM in Pratt， many classes are studio class， so YOU work and design more then you study from books. so you know what I’m saying right? you know what’s different now right. and the other thing， in Pratt MA is Master of Architecture， not Master of Art ， got it? MFA is Master of Fine Art， I believe that you know it well. MS is Master of Science….ok in SVA support design major as MFA because they need 60 credits to finish it， and you will do a lot of design works too.因为MS只需要54学分就毕业了，但是MFA要60学分，在普瑞特有许多设计课程不只教你如何设计，也教你市场行销与管理，所以你也需要念设计史，艺术史或其他课程，就我知道的，如果你要主修CGIM而且拿MFA，许多课程是实作设计课程，所以你做作业的时间保证比念书多!! 嘿~~你知道我在说什么吗?现在你了解有什么不同了吧!还有另外一件事，在普瑞特，MA的意思是建筑硕士，不是人文艺术硕士，至于MFA是创作艺术硕士，我想这你很了解啦…MS是Master of Science，对了，在纽约的视觉艺术学院SVA提供许多设计课程是给要修MFA的学生，因为他们需要修完六十个学分，还有你会要做许多许多的作业··········
4.我听说过有些学生的TOEFL没有达到要求，但是普瑞特学院接受他们的申请了，你曾听说过这样的事儿吗?
Yes that is true， some students did get in Pratt without TOEFL 550， there are some reasons， The first reason is that you are very lucky because not there is enough student who want get in to Pratt in that semester， and they need students， so you will get in. Therefore， if you apply when many student try to get in at the same semester then sorry they will look for your TOEFL score first to throw you away from the accept list. The sec is because your portfolio is really great let them feel they have to accept you in， no matter your English is good or bad.( because however you will need to take the English exam， if not pass then you will get in to ESL in Pratt)
这是真的，有些学生进了普瑞特但托福没有达到学校要求，原因如下
第一呢是因为你非常幸运，这学期没有足够的学生申请普瑞特，所以他们需要学生，所以他们接受了你，不然咧! 要是这学期有足够的学生申请普瑞特，他们就会先踢掉托福不够的…
第二个理由就是你的作品集真的太赞了，让他们觉得非收你不可，不管你的英文是好是坏(因为反正你都得先考入学的ESL考试，然后上普瑞特的ESL英文补救课程)
5.你觉得校园安全如何?
who is safe in NY??…just be very careful and don’t back home at midnight and u must try to be a new Yorker， so ppl knows ur here for a long time. Don’t take a subway map and watch it in the subway station or in the train…there is map in the train and subway station. go see the big map that post there. In Pratt’s campus is safety， the security is good inside campus， but not out of campus..谁在纽约是安全的啊?只要非常小心，不要半夜回家，试着让自己变成一个纽约客就好啦!让人们觉得你在这里待很久了….(就不敢随便欺负你啦)…不要拿着地铁地图，然后在地铁站看或是车上看，反正地铁站墙上就有地图可以看啦!在普瑞特的校区里是安全啦，出了校门，那可不一定!!
6.校园中的国际学生相处如何?
There are many Korean students here in Pratt. how many Chinese students here I’m not sure.普瑞特这里有好多韩国学生，至于有多少中国学生我不太确定.
7.在校外容易找房子住吗?
it’s not easy to find a place to live out side… u can live in dorm for a semester then find a place to live around the Pratt campus in the summer time because many students leave school at that time. It’s cheaper to live out side but also the security is not good as to live in the dorm. the rent fee is about 350-800 a month out side around school. live in dorm is about 600-900 a month. and the school’s food is really bad， so don’ t join it….or u have to pay $3000 for the cafeteria， and it’s only for one year fee…if u can’t finish $3000 meal in one year then u just waste the money. The other way they will plus on next year food fee if u continue it， so that means after u join it u can’t quit.( I don’t remember it’s $2000-3000 for a year or a semester)不太容易喔…你可以第一个学期先住宿舍看看，然后利用暑假的时间来找房子，因为那什候有许多学生都回家了，找房子比较容易，住外面比较便宜，不过安全性比住宿舍的差很多，靠近学校的校外住处租金大约是米金350-800一个月啦，住宿舍则是米金600-900一个月，而且学校的伙食很差，所以别加入学校伙食，…或者你可付米金3000给自助餐厅…然后吃一年…不过一年内你要是没吃到米金3000，不就浪费了吗?另外如果你决定下一年还要吃自助餐厅，大概只要付米金2000-3000间的一个优惠价就好了.
8.当初你为何选择Pratt就读?
That is a funny question， why I choose Pratt yap， because at that time Pratt was the one of top art and design school in new York in 5 years ago. But now it’s not a good school ….SVA is much better than Pratt now . but the Tuition in SVA is not cheap also..
SVA is a very good school， why I said it is good because I did apply that school and I got accepted， and after I visit the school， the computer lab is perfect， much better than Pratt， and after I read the classes that they open for the computer art students， I feel that is really good to study in. And if you get the chance to see the graduation show and you can compare it with Pratt graduate student’s works， then you will know why I say SVA is a good school. and the other thing， right now SVA is in top 10 of art and design school in the USA. but Pratt is only in 18 or 20 in USA. BUT the bad thing for SVA is you have to pay $1000 for the using the computer lab every semester， if you are in computer art major. and they support only MFA in their school， and they only accept students every year， and only 50 students for a year. so I’m proud that I can get in to the school， but 60 credits and the fee is too much for me. so that’s why I didn’t go for it. The other thing， the people who keep say Pratt is good that means one thing， he really doesn’t search the information from the other school or never go to the show. so please forgive me to say this， I think they are not a good design student because a design student must accept any new information， always follow the news， and go around NYC to get any news here to make your thinking alive， and to compare something. don’t always feel the school that you are studying which is the best
这问题蛮好玩儿的，为什么我要念普瑞特…因为在那个时候(五年前)普瑞特是纽约顶尖艺术与设计学校…现在视觉艺术学院SVA比普瑞特好多了，但是SVA的学费也便宜不到哪去!
SVA 是一所非常好的学校，我说它好是因为我申请过这家学校，而且也被接受了，在我拜访过校园之后他们的电脑实验室真是超完美，比普瑞特好多啦，在我读过电脑实习室为主修电脑艺术的学生所开课程之后，我感觉能念这儿真是挺棒的，所以如果你有机会参观SVA和普瑞特的研究所毕业生秀的话，你可以自个儿比较看看，那你就知道我为什么说SVA是个好学校啦! 另一件事，现在SVA是美国艺术与设计学校的顶尖十名，但是普瑞特只在十八或二十名，不过还有一个坏消息，在SVA你得付每学期米金1000元的费用使用电脑实验室，如果你是主修电脑艺术的话啦!!对了~~SVA只提供MFA学位，每年差不多收50位研究生吧，我蛮荣幸我被接受申请了，不过六十个学分和SVA的学费对我来说太贵了，所以我没去念…
另一件事，有些人一直说普瑞特很好很好只是为了一个原因，他们没有好好的研究其他学校，也没有去参观那些学校的艺术活动，所以请原谅我不得不说，我想这样并不算是一个好的设计科学生，因为一个好的设计科学生应该要能接受新的资讯，并持续接触着艺术活动，在大苹果市里跑跑，让思想灵活起来，而且比较一下某些事物，别老是觉得你念的学校就一定是最好的!
