Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

To students, the security around FIT is considered very strict; however, the level of security adds to the level of safety for students attending FIT. The safety level makes perfect sense, considering the school is located in New York City. The block that FIT resides on, 27th Street between Seventh and Eighth avenues, is blocked from oncoming traffic between the hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. The security office also works close with the NYPD, as officers are often seen on campus, to add to the level of safety.

Students must be smart and use common sense to stay safe in New York City. It can be a dangerous place at times, as any city can be. Staying alert is a critical habit that one must be accustomed to while living in such a big city. When it comes to health, FIT has an on-site health center located on the fourth floor of the David Dubinsky Center (the A Building). All full-time students have access to the features of the health center. The health center provides general medical and gynecological care. It is staffed by nurse practitioners and physicians.

So Safe Its Scary

Violence on campus is non existent, theft...perhaps, but none in my experience. It's about as safe as you can get!

Student ID's

The security on campus at FIT is obviously pretty tight because of the Manhattan location. It does become annoying having to show your ID when you enter every building. Also, if you lose your ID it costs 25 dollars to replace so be careful. Overall, I have always felt safe at FIT.

Extremely Safe- Great Security

The security at FIT is outstanding. Nobody can walk into any buildings on campus without having a FIT ID. I feel safe knowing that nobody can roam around the dorms or classrooms because of how strict the security is. If a student wants to have a guest, they must sign them in and also they must get approved on the day of their arrival.
