The area is great and close by to everything and with it being such a small school you can make alot of great friendships. However I wouldnt suggest it for liberal arts seeing as the tution is about $35,000. Also I was in the Fashion Design program and I would not recommend it to those who want to be in the business. Although yo are taught basic sewing you are very much on your own later on, relying on the book and then having the professor check it and then make you correct things. After you have graduated you will need to find another school to go to because you will not learn enough in that program, and its very difficult to transfer. I would suggest FIT, FIDM, The art institutes, or The Academy of Art, seeing as they are known in the industry

Super Brilliant
Fisher College is a great school for students who are just graduating from HS and need a small, close environment in the heart of Boston. There are supportive teachers and faculty. They will go the extra mile for those students who work hard.
Most students are awarded a Trustee Scholarship and they do have Honors Scholarships.
On the other hand, Fisher College is not for transfer, adult, or professional students.
Why? The environment is extremely secondary high school. The classes are easier than expected due to lenient teachers are afraid to fail students.
The classes in programs like fashion merchandising are outdated with professors who have not worked in the industry for many years.
Here are some other points to know: exam schedules come out late (two weeks prior to exam week), teachers who teach "outside the box" usually are not back the semester, and paper work is usually messed up.
Case in point: the registrars office never sent out paid for/requested transcripts to another college and the Fisher Graduate did not get accepted to the other college due to transcripts missing.
Fisher College is a "for profit' college.
Surrounding City: A+, Useful Schoolwork: D
