FIDM/Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising — Local services in Los Angeles

I wanted to come here since leaving high school but change my mind. One of the advisor was pushing me to become an Visual Designer or something like that instead of fashion design. As if she has a choice for my career. They act as if they are a great school compare to Central Saint Martin in London. I told the advisor that in the future I would like to transfer to Parsons or Central Saint Martin and laugh and said to not do that thier the best. They also ask for Calcus math classes that you have taken in high school. As I meet alot of people who attend this school and drop out and as well many who transfer to a different School. They said the school don't have connections and just got a job as serving coffee. Not worth it go to some other place also check for courses online. By the way the advisor said I wouldn't make it in fashion. Guess what she was wrong I attend Central Saint Martin and staring my own label. It's a tough and competive school. I guess some schools are just for the money. Also advisors are to break your dreams. I don't if it has to do that am a Latina. But she was wrong I...

If I could rate less than one star, trust that I would. I heavily appreciate spending x amount of money to attend this private university. Only to arrive out of the blue to commemorate my experience as an alumni from 2016. And security from all entrances refused me access without an appointment. Why would I want an appointment? The career center didn't help me out to get any job anyways, even when I was attending. I simply wanted to view the design shadow boxes on the second and fourth floors, that the students pride themselves on. Don't spend your time or money ladies! Choose FIT (fashion institute of technology in nyc). I choose FIDM over FIT, such a mistake, such a pity. I don't care to associate with this college, I'm not even proud to be an alumni anymore. Shouldn't even be allowed to call themselves a university. That would require them to actually care about their students after their successes and accomplishments. Which they certainly do not. Unless money...

If I could choose 0 stars I would. Going to this school is one of the worst things I’ve ever done and now I’m paying for it. FIDM is only about one thing: money. They are watering down curriculum and increasing tuition. Now I’m paying for nearly nothing. FIDM, is full of rich kids that just want to live in downtown LA and professors that honestly know the school is a complete joke but are willing to take the check. They have NO connections, don’t be lured in by that BLATANT lie. Almost everyone I knew who started at the same time as me has dropped out after realizing it is not a school that fosters creativity or molds great artists. Every student I’ve met and talked to hates the school.

Bottom line: FIDM is a complete scam, go to almost ANY other fashion school. I’m warning you now, because nobody warned me (Ps. Please STOP leaving 5 stars if you havent attended or at least visited. You’re just assisting them with...
