What the Students Say:

"The faculty rocks, course sizes are small, there are great internship connections and admission to labs almost 24/7."

"I think this schoolhouse is known for the proper noun and the opportunities that you go while here, considering I accept learned nothing. I believe that the design programs at this school are expert, but not the business programs."

"I'm but a sophomore, already I've volunteered for nine [manner calendar week] shows and from one of those shows I was actually able to get a job for a luxury brand in SoHo. The opportunities FIT gives are unparalleled."

"You need to exist very independent and determined to go to this school. It's not like most colleges where information technology tin be all about partying and social aspects; expect to work very hard, get a lot of assignments (depending on major) and to be pushed to your limit."

"FIT is focused on the technical aspects of building and designing a collection. For students interested in way, this is specially helpful because without the means and understanding of how to go through the whole process of design to product, pursuing a career and obtaining a job would be much harder. I've personally felt extremely prepared and through my internship experiences have felt that FIT has really provided me a summit-notch education."

The Lesser Line: In addition to manner design, FIT offers fashion marketing, business, textiles, visual arts and countless other fashion-related degrees. The lecture series and FIT museum are exceptional. Valerie Steele, as chief curator of the Museum at FIT, gives this schoolhouse a brainy brownie. This is a great selection for those who are as career-driven as they are creatively driven, as the school is focused on preparing students for the professional world: FIT offers a lot of technical skills, a lot of different avenues, professors who take had valuable manufacture feel and industry connections. It'due south also deepened its focus on sustainability, for those who are interested in that, not only from an educational standpoint but as well internally: The school has reduced its carbon imprint by 55% since 2007, more than any other institution of higher education in NYC.
