Overall ExperienceWhat's This?

The majority of students agrees that the quality of education they receive extends beyond the price that is paid. The FIT faculty has extensive knowledge of the industry and delivers real-world experience to students. Students are also given the chance to expand their learning outside of the New York City classroom, with internships and study abroad programs. Those students who tend to look negatively at FIT are those who are uninvolved and do not take advantage of what the school has to offer.

With the lack of a social scene, lack of a real campus, and the overwhelming amount of girls, students overlook these aspects and value the experiences and opportunities instead. New York City is where dreams can happen. If you stay focused and work hard, you will develop skills and confidence that will lead to a successful career.

Amazing School and Area

The fashion institute of technology is an excellent college. From my perspective, I have seen fit to be a place full of welcoming people, both students and faculty, and also a place with great diversity. Being a suny school, fit is somewhat a smaller college but there are so many different types of people and it is located in such a famous area of the city that it feels as if there are enormous amounts of people you can meet. The college is located in an area where there are many eateries, a great number of places to shop and also stores for school supplies for students. The area in which fit is placed in is the most perfect place for students enrolled in the college. Fit also provides si much for its students, with the vast amount of majors and courses of study, to sports, clubs and other activities that allot fit to fulfill basically every students desires.

Hectic

I have not recieved my financial aid award yet, but the process so far has been a little hectic. You have to submit a budget sheet along with your fafsa as well as proof of residency if you are in-state. You may not have substancial proof even if you are a resident. For me, I nanny and do not have w-2 so I could not submit that. I also live with my boyfriend so I do not have rent or utilities in my name. If you are a resident and live with your parents who file dependency then you are a-ok. If not, make sure you have bills and such in your name as well as an NY state ID card.
