Overall ExperienceWhat's This?

FIDM is a unique experience that many people are glad to be a part of. FIDM allows students to learn about the fashion and design industry in classes and then apply their newly-acquired skills to real world experience and internships. It's one thing to hear, "Oh, you'll use this one day. . ." and a completely different thing to see it right before your eyes—hands on. The Career Center is a really good resource for helping current students find internships and jobs, as well as helping alumni stay connected.

Through online coursework and blocked scheduling, FIDM also succeeds in helping students get an education while working around complicated schedules. Students are able to attend school full-time, work part-time, and hold down a part-time internship—all at the same time. Many students remark that FIDM was a better experience than they could have hoped for. It might sound cliché, but they mean it.

Good. an Updated Computer System Could Prove Beneficial

The school needs more Mac labs. Overall there is enough free computers to work on in the Annex. The annex also has free printing. This is quite the added bonus.

Good. an Updated Approach Could Prove Beneficial

FIDM is amazing designed. it does not appear to look like a school in the least. The main area the school is lacking is in computers. FIDM is primarily run on PC's. This is a cause of conflict with art students. We all GREATLY prefer a Mac to a PC any day. Wifi would be beneficial if it were to be throughout the school. Other than the computers FIDM is a wonderful learning facility and I highly recommend it to any prospective students.

A New Way to Learn.

The Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising is a fantastic school for those whom are eager to learn. I have grown and prospered at FIDM. My perspective on the world has strengthened as a result of the creative approach to learning. We don't memorize we understand. The school itself is quite commercial but it is welcomed. The staff and faculty are willing to help if you are willing to put forth effort if need be.

Overall I would recommend this school to anyone who was thinking about a career in the entertainment world/fashion world.
