The Hustle & Bustle of FIT

I am a college freshman, my first year at FIT and so far it’s been great my professors are wonderful and know your name and who you are. The student body is friendly, it’s a very creative atmosphere here at FIT you can feel the energy through every pore of the faculty and fellow students. The school is located on fashion avenue and is a short walk from the amazing stores on 42 and 34th street and of course 5th avenue they maybe a little expensive however the clearance and sales rack offer an impressive array of vintage and trendy apparel fit for anyone. FIT boasts the only museum in New York City dedicated to fashion right on campus! There are tons of things to do in the city on a college student’s budget such as an off Broadway play, visiting a museum or even enjoying a free street show from aspiring musicians. As a student I chose this college because of the career opportunities such as internships and affiliation with top companies
