The Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City is part of the SUNY system and, therefore, one of the least expensive schools to attend in the Big Apple. Besides Fashion Design and Fashion Merchandising, FIT offers Bachelors Degrees in over 20 other areas. Some of the most interesting include Toy Design, Cosmetic and Fragrance Marketing, Packaging Design, and Interior Design. All majors are of the artistic variety. An interesting and unique fact about FIT is that all students starting here must first earn an Associates Degree before moving into the Bachelors track. Still, it takes just 4 years to get through.
About 11,000 full and part time students attend, campus housing is available mainly to freshmen and Presidential Scholars. In all, there are 11 buildings, 10 within one block of one another. FIT also boasts the highest career placement rate in the SUNY system.
Thanks to Erika Schuster, VHS class of 2006 and current FIT junior (and sister of Max), who gave me a tour of her campus.
