Hi John!
Thank you so very much for the email which def will add on to the decison making which is most likely leaning towards Pratt .. in all probability that is where she is going . nevertheless its always good to get various opinions .. this is a matter of ones future so one is anxious to know what is best ..
What Todd says about CAL arts is true .. and they are also better known for performing arts .. and animation (Disney) . all true ..however she wants to specialize in graphic design & packaging ..
Just incase you get more info in the next few days .. do let me know .. the advance payment for accomodation and tuition fees need to be sent soon where ever it is we should be deciding for sure in the next few days ..especially NY I'm very keen that she gets campus at least for the first few months untill she gets used to the place.. safer that way ..
God I'm going to miss her .. the girls and I are like freinds you know .. but then at some point one needs to let go .. 
I hope I will be able to go along with her in August .. hang around for a bit then go visit some relatives which are scattered all over .. not sure whether this plan will work where I'm concerened .. depends on my job in terms of time off from work ..
Thank you once again .. a million thanks ..!!!
