Pratt Cameos: The Institute's Time On The Big Screen

Ever think Yale and Harvard get far too much attention in movies and television shows? Well, Pratt has made a few cameos itself!

1. "My Life As Liz"

MTV

MTV Shows


"It's not even the final, but it feels like the final." ---Very true.

It wasn't until coming to Pratt that I realized it was the college Liz attended, which is odd because I loved this show in high school.


2. "The Carrie Diaries"

The CW

I remember walking to the store from my dorm and seeing the film set.

One of the main characters, Walt, learns he is accepted to Pratt at the end of the second season.


3. "Switched At Birth"

ABC Family

The main characters are Bay and Daphne, two girls in high school who were, as you guessed it, switched at birth. Bay applies to Pratt.


4. "Fringe"

FOX


Season 1, episode 2 "The Same Old Story"

Here is a very large, CGI placed in front of the Juliana Curran Terian Design Center, more commonly known as the Fashion Building.


5. "The Office"

NBC


In Season 5, Episode 1: "Weight Loss," Pam announces she is going to attend Pratt. It's mentioned a few more times on other episodes as well, and a few scenes were supposedly filmed on location.

Pam wears her authentic and paint splattered Pratt sweater with pride, though.




6. "Law and Order: SVU"

NBC

In season 5, episode 12: "Brotherhood," Pratt is disguised as Wallace University. The town houses on Willoughby Avenue are shown, one as "Tau Omega" fraternity house. Tables surround the Cannon sculpture (which was pink at the time?) for the sake of the scene.


7. "The Good Shepherd"

Apparently, bits of The Good Shepherd (directed by Robert De Niro) were filmed at Pratt. (If you can pinpoint the scene, comment below!)


8. "Debbie Does Dallas"

This adult film was shot in the Pratt Library's stacks and the gym locker room in 1978. Permission was granted for the production, but it is claimed that no one at Pratt knew what type of movie it was going to be; they were told it was going to be "different" and that they needed privacy. Read more about it here


9. "GhostBusters"

It is rumored that part of Ghostbusters was filmed at the Pratt Mansion, but I couldn't find any proof. What do you think? Could it be this scene?

10. "In Treatment"

HBO

April, a character, is supposed to be an architecture major at Pratt.


11. Billy Joel - "The Longest Time"

Billy Joel's music video features Pratt more than any other clip I've seen. It's also my favorite on the list.

Which is yours? Comment below!

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
