What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

I knew that when accepted and coming into this school, the Interior Deisgn program would be challenging. I wish I had known to what extent though, because coming in as a first year student in the program, I got whisked into a heavy work load right away. With the shared experiences of my classmates, this transition was made easier because I was not alone. I also wish I knew to not be afraid to be entering a "fashion" school, because I eventually learned that this school isn't only fashion related, but offers so much more, and I am thankful.

FIT isnt for someone who is expecting the normal college experience. You have to be ready to put those ideas aside and really focus on what is important to you and why you applied here in the first place.

I really like how the school makes us take on so much responsibility and grow up, but I wish that I would have prepared myself more during high school for this responisiblity. Overall I'm glad that I can learn more in college that I can use later in life.

I wish I had known how long it was going to take to graduate due to the fact that FIT is very hard on evaluating transfer creidts.
