Jiyoon

Students were fashionable, had sense of courtesy, passionate and diverse!

Linda

If you are crazy ambitious and willing to work really hard you'll love this school. Students don't joke around when it comes to classes and internships. We are all striving to get into great careers and aren't wasting our four years in college in New York City. We all juggle school, homework, work, internships, and struggle to pay for apartments. If you're really into fashion you'll feel right at home amongst the girls with the latest Burberry trench and Longchamp Le Pliage tote bag.

Isabella

A creative, diverse person open to all types of people who wants a career in art or buisness.

Wing

A person with a heart full of passions toward fashion should attend this school. They should also have a great sense of fashion and the interest to explore the fashion world.

Erika

Someone who loves a fast-paced environment and is okay without having an actual campus. The perk of FIT is that all of its buildings are on the same block unlike most city schools. Someone with an interest in fashion and networking. The school has a very involved alumni and they take care of students when they graduate. Also, someone who is expressive and not afraid to be their own person.

William

Any one that has an interest in the Fashion industry. That's the #1 why I chose this school, and why I came from across the country to attend it. It is the best school in its category, but not eveyone can be perfect. Being that I was from across the country, it was pretty difficult to get acclimated, and I feel insecure people may sacrifice their true selves just to fit in. Just be sure to stay true to who you are and the right people will be attracted to you.

extremely artistic and hard working

Shara

I think this school is perfect for the type of student who knows exactly what they want to do with their life. Someone who is still undecided on their major probably would not excel at FIT because, while some concentrations are similar, it is very difficult to change majors and still graduate on time. This school is perfect for someone like me who has known what they want to do since the age of 12.
