Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars
The program is really good I am not sure if I am being pushed hard enough
KSU review <3
Anonymous rated 5 out of 5 stars
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.
