The best facet of my university is by far the experience you gain. You are provided with top-notch faculty, resources, and supplies to broaden your knowledge of the visual arts. The school provides many opportunities to further your future career with workshops, competitions, and exhibitions that are meant to get you noticed. In the difficult business of art, every inch helps and Parsons gives that to its students. Not only are you introduced to many new things, but you have the chance to meet people that will alter your life for the better.

The journalism department and the variety of classes I wouldn't take anywhere else. As for the latter, I took a course on boat building, which gives you a sense of those unique courses. The journalism departmet is helping me evolve so much as a journalist and makes me want to continue down that track.
