Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

FIT's campus is located on one city block, leaving little room for space. There are no grassy areas to lounge around or things of that nature; the streets are lined with trees, and there are benches for students to sit on and enjoy the New York scenery. In terms of the school's actual buildings and amenities, the Museum at FIT houses one of the world’s top collections of costumes and textiles, and it's also free and open to the public.

FIT has a variety of other special facilities that are exclusively unique to campus, such as a knitting and weaving lab, toy design workshop, several photography studios and black rooms, and cosmetic and fragrance labs. These are just a few of the special campus facilities. Many students agree that the campus needs improvement in areas such as the elevators, the escalators, and the bathrooms. Some students also feel that there are classrooms that are a bit outdated.

Libraries

There are two libraries. In the libraries there are not enough computers! In the computer lab, there also isn't enough computers either.

Campus Activities

The Student Life Organization at FIT is one of the best around for a small school in a big city. The school always has fun activities going on where you can meet new people and have a good time. Every week there is a movie in the cafeteria, along with other activities in the dorm buildings and in the school.

FIT Life

The campus is very laid back and relaxed. They have remodeled the campus cafeteria, lounges, library. Everything now is modern and up to date. When I used to attend it was completely different.

"Green" Initiatives

FIT is always in search of new and innovative ideas to follow the "green" movement. The school holds an annual conference on sustainable business and design.

Favorite Things To Do

At the beginning of every week, Student Life sends out an email that describes the upcoming fun events during that week, such as crafts, games, and other social activities. Take advantage of the on-campus fitness classes such as Zumba, yoga, Pilates, and kickboxing.

Did You Know? Outside businesses often rent out the larger facilities on FIT's campus, such as the Great Hall and the Katie Murphy Amphitheatre. The MTA has even held a protest on FIT's campus.
