Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Design Arts - Industrial Design/Graphic Design/etc  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Quite Bright FIDM seems like a great school... but I have had a somewhat negative experience after graduation. First of all, I graduated with a 3.85 g.p.a. i tried my hardest and felt when i graduated that I had gotten a lot out of the program. The teachers are professionals, yes, it is HARD, but I enjoyed pushing myself. So my complaint of the school is not that it is difficult, but that ( and this may depend on your major ) they don't give you all the tools you truly need to succeed in the business world, unless you have previous education. I suggest FIDM if you already have a degree and are looking to enhance your skills. I DO NOT suggest FIDM straight out of High school. It is a very pricey education, (40k) and it is very hard to be taken seriously with your A.A from Fidm in the real world. Besides that, if you want to furthur your education, no state school will transfer your fidm credits, they will give you like an 1/8th of a credit for each 3 unit class.. what a waste of money! And yes, I was hired somewhere.. after 9 long months of looking I found a job that was a great fit, and 5 months later the economy started to go down, and there went my job. And try finding another job with a resume like that.. I wish fidm took the time to teach more.. who needs to be in and out in 18 months? maybe people who already have jobs, but i felt rushed out and gipped, i didn't even learn all the programs that the industry wants you to know. Think twice about it, I wish my parents had forced me to get a General Ed degree first. Starting Job: Graphic Artist, Preparedness: F, Reputation: F Have a Question?

The school is absolutely the greatest opportunity that I have ever been presented with. There is no doubt that FIDM will take me far and further. The students are very trendy, happy, welcoming, and hard working. Useful Schoolwork: A+, Faculty Accessibility: B Have a Question?

They are not willing to work hard and get their priorities in the right order. It is an intense education and the instructors treat the students like an employee. For those of you that did not get anything out of your education. Grow up and take a long look at yourself. The school trains students to be successful in each field.
