Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Interior Design  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Quite Bright FIT is incredible. I'm so glad I applied and got in. As an interior design major, there is a lot of work (and I'm only a Freshman!) but it's really enjoyable! All the professors are professional and are rather good in giving constructive criticism. All the projects I've done have been really tiring but worth it. Education Quality: A+, Campus Aesthetics: B- Have a Question?

It speaks to their insecurity and arrogance and is unhelpful in any adedemic situation. Surrounding City: A+, Individual Value: F Have a Question?

So for me to come to FIT and to New York was both incredibly liberating and also terrifying. The liberating part got stronger and the terrifying part got less each year I was at FIT. I had never seen a man in a skirt or dress before so to have people in my class who dressed that way was interesting. I had no theoretical problem with it but I had never seen it. So then I started "experimenting" with modes of dress myself. The sort of thing that would get me arrested / get phone calls to my parents back home! Showing up to an event wearing a black sweater, dark pantyhose and boots ... no panties, no skirt ... !!! I don't know whether I was rebelling from small town Iowa, exploring options, or what. I guess I expected shock but the response was "whatever, so what, you don't shave your crotch, so what." What is good about the school is that it is very competetive and SOME professors really want to pour their wisdom into you. What is bad is that many students are olut for themselves. No, I didn't expect marching bands and bake sales, but I would have expected a bit more pulling together. Having said that, there were numbers of students who were fantastic. So, I guess like anywhere, find the good people and cling to them and ignore the rest. If you want to attend BE VERY GOOD at what you do. If you can't roll with almost anything different, don't come here. If you are thin skinned, don't come here. If you are ready to try ANYTHING and welcome others who do the same, and work very very hard on your own ... this is a GREAT place. If, like me, you're from East Bugsnot, don't be naive about New York and New York fashion school. Go for it. Try out ANYTHING. Be stretched like you never thought you would be. And you'll come out a new person. Surrounding City: A+, Faculty Accessibility: F Have a Question? Your Response/Question:     To be informed when someone replies to your comment.

The chair of my department is a prime example. She is here for the university, not for the students. I had one class with her (a 2.5 credit class) that was filled with busy-work and occuppied my entire semester. While much of the information that she "taught" us was out of date since she has been OUT of the industry since the 1980s. And at the end of the day, FIT is about money, and getting more of it. I received no financial aide, and would have been able to graduate early had my chair signed off on paperwork, but since she wouldn't, I have been part-time ever since. It was a good program, and I am glad that I stuck it out (it took me 6 years) and completed it, yet when I think of the time and money put into it, and what I got out of it, I'm not too sure that it was worth it. In the end of the day, I finished for the paperwork. That's all. Innovation: A, Individual Value: D Have a Question? Your Response/Question:     To be informed when someone replies to your comment.
