Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Art & Design Department  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Super Brilliant Parsons School is tough!!! If you expect to have fun and party - don't go there! No sleep for four years! Tons of work and extreme competition. Excellent teachers and program. If you are not VERY hard worker with strong motivation and ambition, you will not like it. But it gives you the "real-world" education. Gives you the best oportunities after graduation and the fastest growth curve. Again, this school is not your ordinary college, there's no college life and partying. And yes, they are not very concerned about your life outside school like commuting and dorms. They expect you to be grown up enough to solve this by yourself. Believe me, in the real world, nobody will take care of that for you either. What will everybody want to know thou is how well you can work right NOW! And the school gives the best education for that. Starting Job: assistant designer, Preparedness: A+, Reputation: A+ Have a Question?

Everybody is really eager to meet people and start life in the city. It's in an excellent area of town and there's always something to do. If you want a campus, however, don't come here. It's in the heart of New York and the "campus" is shared with everyone else in the city. If you like the city, however, I encourage you to come. Theres tons of recourses available to students in all feilds and all sorts of companies and professionals to relate to. Sometimes you'll have them as a teacher.
