everything is perfect
Not a good place for international students
Anonymous rated 3 out of 5 stars
Have many choices for students, but the fashion school is not friendly to international students. Giving scholarships to lower GPA local students rather than higher GPA international students. Some professors don't understand how difficult it international students to take a flight to the US. They seldom reply emails.

I haven’t started my studies yet. Due to financial difficulties I wasn’t able to starting fall so I deferred to spring. But so far it has been good. I am able to interact with staff in the school who help me when any needed information
