    It's a great school-but it really is up to you what you make out of it. Would really recommend it to anyone looking for an education and career in the fashion industry. Also, if you love business and fashion, FIT's FMM department is a perfect major for you. I will say that the connections and opportunities you have are what you make it! If you are conscientious it will pay off. Good luck. ...Continue reading

    The school is great. I can't think of a single bad thing about the school except dorm visitation. Love the classes, love the buildings, love the food. I love FIT! There is always something to do at anytime of the day, you just gotta find it and explore. Some people at FIT are rude and nasty but there are some really great people there. The professors are great and this school is full of opportunity. Be active and involved with this school. ...Continue reading

    If you want a typical college experience- go somewhere else. Definitely choose to come here with a lot of passion. Many students tend to drop out after their first year because it's a lot of work. It's not the type of college where you will meet friends, date and have an college experience.

    FIT girls/guys are literally so cliquey, it's probably worse than your high school. It is so hard to make friends here and I suggest you try to make friends in your classes first semester because that's basically your only chance.

    The fashion design classrooms need to be updated! Best thing thats ever happened to me. But also the most tiresome, workfilled, all consuming thing. All the work wouldn't be so bad if there was a normal place to sit down and relax or lounge or breath. But usually kids are laying on radiators, work tables, and awkward cement slabs outside. The learning is exceptional though. Fashion Design, prepare to be miserable, FBM is like a breeze. ...Continue reading

    Many aspects of this school are alright but the problem is, they aren't convenient. I've never felt challenged by the curriculum, and most often it seems outdated.

    FIT is an amazing school if you've got it all figure out. Excellent Curriculum. Some of the mayors are the ONLY ones taught in the COUNTRY. Same teachers as other private (and much more expensive) schools. Excellent opportunities after Graduation. Lots of guess speakers from various industries (not just fashion) /CONS: Securities take their job a bit too seriously. No grass here, its NYC Dorms on 34th street are way better and brand new. Dining Hall is okay. Not a lot of variety and high prices. Maintenance takes FOREVER to fix thing broken in the dorms. Security is always nice to me.

    FIT is a great school if you're passionate about what you're studying. I've met some amazing, genuine, thoughtful fun friends. I've heard of a lot of not so great random roommate experiences but I really lucked out. A lot of people commute due to the money and lack of a social life on campus anyways. I've learned a lot and had so many great opportunities and experiences. The professors are all so experienced and talented! Food is kind of bla and there aren't tons of options for vegans or vegetarians unless you really like salad.

    Just the food and the social life on campus is an issue for me. It's more like going to work early than school. Don't expect to see parties, a real common area, sports teams, or anything else that brings most college communities together. More than 3 absences in a class results in a lower grade or an auto-fail. The urge to look fashionable is evident everywhere you look, right down to the professors. Find a couple or small circle of friends, large student body doesn't equal lots of friends. ...Continue reading

The staff is BEYOND incompetent the education is soso and the students are pretentious Kanye Kardashian wanna be's. It's a hard place to tolerate. Fashion institute of TECHNOLOGY but nothing works The school doesn't care about you unless you're in a fashion related major. Peers are super elitest. The professors are the saving grace, in my opinion. The dorms are really nice (apartment style). The school is falling apart though.

    Just the food and the social life on campus is an issue for me. It's more like going to work early than school. Don't expect to see parties, a real common area, sports teams, or anything else that brings most college communities together. More than 3 absences in a class results in a lower grade or an auto-fail. The urge to look fashionable is evident everywhere you look, right down to the professors. Find a couple or small circle of friends, large student body doesn't equal lots of friends. ...Continue reading

Students who don't care for this school, may not be as focused or passionate. Attending class is a must. Take advantage of all the resources around you. It's an amazing institution and I'm proud to be a student here. There are friendly people and things to do on campus, but you have to put in the effort and look for it. You can't expect everything to come to you. Overall, I think FIT is a great school. ...Continue reading

    This school is suppose to be known for opportunities, but when I went to my internship meeting my advisor asked me who I know.... Old, broken easels, broken stools the art classrooms are gross and aren't practical. The area is boring and depressing. OUTDATED CURRICULUM! Some great profs, others so awful they ruined my experience. Bursar/registration is rude and unhelpful. It felt more like a highschool to me ...Continue reading

    Love this school and I just completed my AAS and already have job. Especially transferring from LIM College. That is another fashion school in the city. But you get a better education here for less. Also the networking and location far exceed that of LIM in addition to the dorms being much closer to the school itself. ...Continue reading

    If you're a fashion design major, you're in good hands because this school is so specialized for fashion! They dont respect students, some of the teachers are incredibly insulting and racist, and they give out an intense amount of hw, like you're going to school for law. Most of the admissions staff and registrars staff is clueless ...Continue reading

    FIT is very studious with their fashion majors! As a design student, I have less of a social life than I used to, and am working harder than I ever thought I could FIT is a workplace. Urban campus + career driven atmosphere not so typical college experience. Overall, I'm very happy here and have made wonderful friends. ...Continue reading

    It's an awesome school!! The second year you start interning and real life begins. After that once you get adjusted to NYC, the school, the people there, life gets a whole lot better there. So much opportunity. ...Continue reading

    Only here for the name so it's easier to find a job. Go to cooper union. Maybe even go abroad or to scad if you love campus life. But do not come here to FIT. The staff is BEYOND incompetent the education is soso and the students are pretentious Kanye Kardashian wanna be's. It's a hard place to tolerate. Fashion institute of TECHNOLOGY but nothing works The school doesn't care about you unless you're in a fashion related major. Peers are super elitest. The professors are the saving grace, in my opinion. The dorms are really nice (apartment style). The school is falling apart though. Wish I went to a normal school with an actual campus. ...Continue reading

    Came here as a senior transfer student in a 3+1 program. do not come here if you want to have fun on campus and meet friends. Unless you have friends in the city it's so hard to meet people on campus. a lot of students commute and no one hangs out around the dorms at night. NO BOYS!! :( Everyone is running around with their head cut off no one knows anyone and no one knows how to do their job they give you the run around and create more issues for you as a student. Make sure you keep track of everything cos they dont. ...Continue reading
