What is so unique about FIT is the cirriculum, the professors and the different activity groups. There must be an ethnic group for every country at FIT, among others. There are also groups for each cirriculum where you can learn to network in the industry at an early stage. Most professors are inspiring and genuinely care. They teach you the traditional techniques as well as modern techniques. They also teach you how to deal with criticism constructively. There are many different interesting cirriculums. This school is like a toy store for anyone that is interested in the arts.

FIT is diverse and creative. It fosters a liberal and open-minded environment that is highly focused on hands-on/real-world industry experience. It is constantly connected to what's happening in the industry by being in touch with alumni, companies looking for interns/future employees, and by employing professors who are still working within their industry. FIT is hightly focused on after-graduation job placement and has a high success rate in doing so.

It's a state of the art...art school. Everyone is creative and fullfilling and there is an emotional level of happiness that you see in people that are permanent friends because of the college.

As a transfer student from St. John's University in Jamaica, Queens; I can compare both experiences. I must say that FIT is a wonderful school for individual's with a creative mindset. Thanks to my dedicated and well rounded teachers, each with a unique personality and an interactive teaching strategy, I was more than satisfied with my decision to attend this college. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for my previous university, where I was not intellectually challenged nor did I receive my money?s worth. But I must say the social life on the Queens campus was unforgettable.

I believe my school is unique because of its city campus. The urban environment allows for much more interaction and opportunity for a college experience, as well as a learning and growing experience. With the city at your fingertips you have more opportunity to meet people as well as find job/intern opportunities. Many people my age attend schools in rural environments in your typical environment with sororities and fraternities, where there are many cliques. FIT it known for being unique and diverse. There are no cliques, it's almost like everyone knows and likes everyone despite its big campus.

This school allows students to take their creativity to another level by teaching them the business aspect of the Art industry, fashion industry, advertising industry and various other industries. Students are able to market themselves correctly to achieve success.
