The good: You're in New York City. Your professors have all worked in the industry for a long time, and some still have full-time jobs aside from teaching that correlate exactly with what you're learning. There is a great community service program that can get you volunteer work for Fashion Week, and there are plenty of ways to ease your way into the industry with connections you might be able to make.

The bad: Pretty much everything else. Now it depends on your program, but you have to really love and research fully what you're getting yourself into, because the amount of students who, after only the first semester, want to transfer out or change majors is ridiculous. Every single office employee (bursar, registrar, registration center, financial aid, residential life, etc.) is COMPLETELY unhelpful and rude, and it gets to the point where you learn very quickly that you have to figure everything out on your own because nobody who works in these offices will help you. A lot of professors are difficult to reach, don't check their email, and tell you not to call their office phones because "nobody checks them". And if you want to reach them, you have to catch them during their two office hours a week. There are ridiculous policies regarding dropping classes, making payments, etc.

My advice? Know what you're getting yourself into. I wasted two years of my life, racked up the student loans, and am now going to be starting all over again next fall. Do your research and ask around before you decide. I just went for it and I regret it.

Women, the greatest creation of the God, have numerous styles occhiali gucci donna da sole. Everything they do become a style statement. They tell a story through words, images, look and even more, through their actions. Hence, anything a woman wears becomes the fashion.
