20 Best Mfa Programs In Bronx, NY (2022 Updated)

My overall education received I will give a 5 star. But as for respect for alumni and help available to them I give 1 star. I completed my b.s in 3 and a half years, I got a scholarship for 8,000. I decided to attend because my best friend was attending and enjoyed the school. I also did not want to attend a CUNY, I wanted to try a private college, but not too expensive. My education received was great, the professors were friendly and well educated as well as had expierence in their related field. BUT I have to take a required course for a masters degree program, I would prefer to take it as SFC, so I ask if the terrier come home program applies and they say NO because I am not pursuing another degree. Well, I’m sorry you don’t provide my graduate program. CUNY wants to charge me 2,200 for one class, I asked if SFC could lower the rate since I graduate there and they made about 20,000 off of my degree? They flat out said no, unless I’m pursuing another degree and would not discount the rate of 860 per credit which is about 400 more than CUNY. They wouldn’t discount me anything AT ALL lol. I would never even consider taking a masters degree program, certification or any other course at this school again. It was very uncooth and disrespectful to not offer any discount especially seeing as they made an immense amount of money off of me. I graduate cum laude and would have attended their graduate school but they offer 3 limited programs with a crazy tuition. Save your money and go to a CUNY for your masters. It’s okay for a undergraduate program but masters programs are limited and the amount they charge for the quality for care and respect for students is minimal. When I went the lobby and cafeteria area had classroom chairs and it looked awful, now it’s all done up and amazing looking lol is that what the extra charge is for ? I would have considered paying a bit extra but the way the man replied via email was kind of snark and annoying. You think they would treat alumni better. Oh well, whatever. They raised the tuition at lease 5,000 bucks in the 3 years I was there and if I’d known that previously I would have saved myself the student debt and went to a CUNY 😂🤷🏼‍♀️ Professors get 5 stars. Other staff I give 1 to 2 stars.Jennifer Lynne Mandato Trucios

I am going to be a Sophomore this year and I couldn't be happier with the school. All the faculty and staff made the transition from high school to college very smooth. The faculty and staff care about how your are doing both academically and personally. From the minute I stepped through the door at my open house, I was automatically welcomed with open arms to the St. Francis College family. Everyone from the students to the faculty members are friendly as well, it is really easy to find a solid group of people who will be by your side for a long time. Its also the perfect school for students who want to be highly involved on campus. There are lots of opportunities from department jobs, to research assistants, to clubs and sports teams. I myself am a member of two of their 21 NCAA Division 1 teams, as well as a handful of other clubs and organizations on campus, from Student Government to the Latin American Society. This is the perfect school for someone who wants to be an individual and find themselves, rather than just be one of a few thousand. In just one year I have felt myself grow so much and I can't wait to see what else SFC has in store for me.AnnaMaria Leal

By spending a day at St. Francis College, I immediately felt a strong connection with the school and everybody in it. I have never felt such an amazing vibe like this ever before. I am an undergraduate. Im a senior in high school and i thought i would never find a school that will fit me the best and when I heard about this open house, The school its self was calling my name and when i went, i ended up applying the same day and got accepted a week after applying . I see my future in this school and i am confident that who ever likes being around caring and exciting people, this is the best option for you. I am proud to say that i am part of SFC class 2024!!Brianna C.

The only reason ppl go here and are willing to grossly pay for an education is the location. I went to school here and will say it is far overpriced for the education you are given. Some staff are great and really care about the education they are providing. Others just read off a powerpoint and have no interest except for a paycheck. Career services ask if you want to be reached out to and say they will help but its not in their interest. At the NYC campus the administrative and financial aid staff are blatantly rudeRyan Ryan

Pace is expensive, doesn't help the students getting internships and when the students get one on their own, Pace takes the credit. After graduating, the students don't get a job. One of their alumni just got a good job and due to she owes money, they don't give her transcripts and are retaining her title. Is not possible for Pace to help when the students really need help? It is not possible to set a plan of payments?.Cristina Chaves

This is a good school. However, the quality is almost identical to the CUNY school I attended before coming here that costed significantly less. Additionally, the lack of diversity (granted, because of how this is a private school) is also lacking. I am happy to be graduating from here from a grant through the NYC Department of Education for free, and in all I enjoyed my experience here.Mr. Luppino

I obtained one of my degrees here, it used to be a good place to get an education, but it has become more liberal and left wing. At one time, the tuition for a full-time evening student was less than that for daytime, which made sense since there was no access to many of the daytime nine-to-five services. That benefit has been eliminated, so I'll go elsewhere for my next degree.fir las

We were doing art classes here. And the teacher decided to put everyones projects on the sidewalk. Then some kid came along and started stomping on them like he was jumping in snow. STOMP STOMP STOMP. So, the lesson is dont put students artwork on a sidewalk, and dont let kids inZ Blade

I was at graduation for Freeport high school the people that work there are great …..I don't care for the Hofstra school because of the student that for there especially the ladies lacrosse team that live in my town in Uniondale they make the block look like trash….Irene Salgado

Give 1 because I cannot give less, but after what we went through with pandemic, not all staff came back to the offices and the students they have to talk with staffs or any department just by phone or zoom. It s very uncomfortable. Most of freshman they are paying, but are not follow, and this is awful, for them and for the parents too. Ko queens college. Tell me thanks to pay you for freemary cucinella

I am glad I transferred from IUPUI campus to CUNY. I will graduate debt free . Love the QC CUNY campus along with free QC Red/CUNY black shuttle bus for students that has certain pick and drop off points . Simply fantastic to be on beautiful QC CUNY campus, along with CUNY/ QC red-black shuttle bus 🚌. I love riding it everyday from Jamaica/ surfing Blvd to CUNY campus classes . Thanks😃🇺🇸.RumaDhakaCityGirl USA

Best university for your bucks. QC just opened a brand new Business School. Chances of graduating with NO DEBTS is always a plus. Top notch faculty. Since people are looking for value, its harder to get in recent years.Dominick Withanachchi

I really can’t explain what I went through with the staff, so unprofessional and the attitude is horrible I always try to be as nice as possible but the way they treat people is awful. They literally screamed at my mom who does not speak any English for not having her vaccine card with her although she had picture of the vaccine but her phone was dead they yelled at her and did not try to help her enter the building at all. Once I came and approach them they was talking to me with awful attitude and yelling at me!!!!! although I respect the policy but they always could help in situation like this making everything 10X harder and unprofessional behaviour. Please Lehman collage train your employees and staff it’s just seem that they was not train at Enough to deal with people!!A

One of its kinda school Historic place as it is more than 100 year old school CUNY’S most iconic campus so far As building is quite old, construction is going on still it’s worth taking a walk here Lush green gardens and beautiful library plus awesome walkways and old concert hall and other buildings. Library staff is too friendly and easy going and so is the library too They have open tables with solar panels which is awesome Lots of environmental hazards are there which can be dangerous. Work need to be done on that for sure else it can have some dangerous results Overall a good place to come and seatTaksh Shah

Lehman College is a 4 year college. Offering over 50 majors in Biology, Accounting, Environmental Science, Journalism and more. Affordable tuition and an amazingly beautiful scenic campus. Staff is professional. For information regarding Financial Aid, Deadlines and General information contact college or visit their website. Located near public transportation.Natasha M Jordan

I had a great experience there. Some things are not so good there but if you want to get an interesting mix between religious and secular education, this is the right place to go to.Adir Gozlan

From the moment I was accepted to a few months later, it’s been nothing but miscommunication, incorrect information, and confirming false details left and right. Name any kind of detail, and they’ve gotten it wrong. Name any kind of procedural, logistical, student experience piece, and there’s conflicting information. The “right hand doesn’t talk to the left” saying doesn’t even begin to describe how dysfunctional this place already is, and classes haven’t even started. When you’re about to go into $120,000+ debt for the rest of your life you’d at least expect the “student success advisor” not to demean you at every turn, or for at least one person to confirm details that are actually true. If you’re considering applying here, go absolutely anywhere else and spare yourself the unbelievably unnecessary headaches and stress. Save your time and energy for the actual schoolwork — not a school that can’t get a single detail correct.Jamie Bichelman

I lost my wallet Wednesday while cycling to or from work. I stressed for a minute, only had time to cancel Credit Cards and got over it. Tonight I get home and a package arrives in the mail from an anonymous stranger with a note, "Hi Irving, I found your wallet on Wednesday night near Madison Square Garden. I hope losing it didn't cause too much stress." Everything, including cash, metro cards, gift cards, Drivers License, credit cards, etc., were intact, just as I had placed them in my new Prada wallet, a gift from my dear friend ‪#‎KenPilska‬. Thank you anonymous stranger who mailed the package from ‪#‎NYU‬DepartmentofHumanitiesAndTheSocialSciencesin theProfession. I LOVE NY and NYU Steinhart!Bismark Irving

NYU Steinhardt School of Culture, Education and Human Development has a wonderful mission to support education for social change. Having graduated from the Higher Education and Student Affairs Master's Program in the Department of Administration, Leadership and Technology, I have had a rewarding opportunity to give back to the NYU Community in my chosen profession. It's amazing place to be!! Debra Diana, M.A. Higher Education and Student AffairsDebra Diana

I took the 1-year online screenwriting course. In theory it sounded perfect for me, since I wasn't in a position to go to school full-time. I had high hopes. On the positive side, I did learn the basic principles of screenwriting. Also, I finished a first draft of a film script, which was pretty cool. The discipline of meeting weekly to report on my progress helped me achieve my goal. I wish my review could end there, on a positive note. But on the negative side, I found the instructor extremely rude to anyone who didn't agree with their opinions 100%. The person often ridiculed students and dismissed their contributions. The surly attitude shut down conversation more than once. I have a Masters degree, and have been a student in several schools as an adult – and I have encountered only a few instructors as abrasive as this person. (That's saying a lot, considering how arrogant many professors are!) Also, the instructor was late to class more than once. To be fair, the person did make it up, by extending the classroom time. Still, when you've arranged for child-care, it's a drag to sit and wait in front of your computer, while your instructor fumbles around, making half-baked excuses why they were late. I have kids at home who play the same tricks in an attempt to evade their responsibilities, I don't need my screenwriting instructor doing the same! Worse yet, the instructor once shared personal information about their family of origin that was unnecessary to the classroom context. (We paid a hefty tuition fee to learn screenwriting skills, not to hear sad facts about this person's childhood. Hey, we all have a few sad memories about childhood! Get over it! An online classroom is not the place for a paid instructor to share personal memories). I would have been more sympathetic to their plight if they had been a nice human being from the beginning. They weren't nice, so I'm not sympathetic. Finally, the instructor went back on a promise they had made to me during a classroom session. Another student hadn't come to the online class, and we were scheduled to read their script. So I volunteered to submit my rough draft – with the understanding that I could re-submit my script once it was finished, for another classroom review. The instructor agreed to those terms – but went back on their agreement a few weeks later. When I questioned the instructor about it, my concern was dismissed. So, I copied the transcribed conversation in which the instructor made the promise. They replied that they were way too busy to give each student individual attention! (Then why make the promise in the first place?). My poor rating is entirely based on the habitually unprofessional conduct of the instructor. The actual course content was very, very good. Had someone else – with a good work ethic, a sense of punctuality, and a commitment to personal and professional integrity – taught the course, then I would have given NYFA a perfect score. So, although I'm indebted to NYFA for helping me acquire basic screenwriting skills, and giving me the opportunity to complete a rough draft, I found the personal conduct of the instructor a very serious obstacle to the learning experience. My suggestion to anyone who wants to enroll in an online screenwriting course: – Make sure the educational institution has a professional code of conduct – Make sure the school holds their instructors to that code If you can't afford the cost of tuition: – Buy a good book on screenwriting. It will give you the exact same info about skills that this course provided, at a fraction of the cost – Enroll in a writing class at your local community center, where you can find like-minded people who will hold you accountable as you write your next project -Keep writing! Don't give up. After a number of years, I continue to uphold my opinion of the school.Robert Widdowson

The (limited) number of students that actually care is the only reason this school gets 2 stars. I attended the Masters Cinematography program in Los Angeles, and I am here to tell you that for that program- I can't speak to the others with as much in depth knowledge- the school is a joke, and serves to print money for itself. I was to attend for two accelerated semesters, and during the first, I found work doing what I was going to school to study and basically checked out mentally. When time came for my second semester, I had done very little for my classes, and went to our instructor to tell him I was leaving. The part that confused me was when he said that I was one of the best students in class, which made me laugh, as I had been working on set for the proceeding two months, hadn't attended class, or screened any projects for the class. I pointed out these facts to him, went to the bursers office with my story, and within 5 minutes I was holding a check for 40 thousand dollars: a complete refund of my tuition for both the previous semester, and the upcoming semester. My question is this: if they don't know they are scamming all their pupils, why were they so eager to hand over so much money and bid me farewell? Seems like an admission of guilt, and an effort (which admittedly worked) to prevent me from commenting on my experience. All you need to do is look at the top 5 most common jobs for degree holders from NYFA. The most common is elementary school teacher. The rate of alumni body working in thier field of study is a jawdropping .008%. Yea. Not worth it. Do yourself a favor, and watch all the films on AFI 100 greatest films list, then learn how blender and composition work, buy yourself a camera, and make a film.Nick Frazier

Did a filmmaking workshop. Loved some teachers and learned a lot, but the administration its just been awful. Since my first day. When I arrived due to a ridiculous covid protocol that I haven't been informed, I couldn't attend my first day of classes. I lost many hours and they just left me outside the door even though I crossed the world to get to nyc. And now, I finished the workshop four months ago and still haven't get my diploma. I keep writing to them but nothing gets done and it just keeps wasting my time. I paid around 5 thousand dollars to take that workshop and I just can't believe I don't have the proof of the classes I took.Pili Martínez

Got my Master in Public Administration from Wagner Graduate School of Public Affairs in 1985. Not an ounce of financial aid – It was my one-hundred percent self-paid onus. Even with full-time work for the duration of full-time study, it was easier than where my Bachelor of Arts was from: Binghamton. Long story short, the Public and nonprofits sector didn't want me; but, made some successes in the Corporate world in Banking, Insurance, followed by Investment Brokerage. My point ? Be adaptable for all your endeavors, and a Master's degree allowed me to enter, and to succeed in, fields for which I had no experience ! Life is what you make it, folks.Lawrence Weinzimer

On October 24th, my boyfriend and I participated in ctour's one-day trip to the San Diego Sea World. We were very happy and enjoyed the whole day. Thank you Ctour, thank you tour guide Daniel for your leadership, we will choose Ctour when we come to California!WENDY

This was my first serious acting class that I took and it met my every expectations and beyond. Is it easy? No. Is it challenging? Yes. But I believe we learn & grow the most when situations are difficult or challenging. I wanted a glimpse of what it meant to be a true artist as an actor and the summer intensive at MFS certainly delivered that. I am going to say that Charlie is not a teacher for everyone. He makes that very clear and it's up to the individual to know for themselves whether they want to learn from a person like Charlie. Personally for me I need an instructor like Charlie. I need someone to push me to places where I am afraid to go as an actor. And while sometimes it was frustrating & scary, those small breakthroughs that happens makes it worth it. The summer intensive allowed me to certainly learn more about myself as a person. Hopefully I can learn and further strengthen my foundation as an actor when I continue to learn the Meisner technique.Paul K.

The Maggie Flanigan Studio reintroduced acting as an art form for me. During my time here I learned the meaning of truly being. Doing the hard work while attending this studio was the artistic challenge I have been seeking. And having had time to digest some of the teachings I’ve never felt so confident as an artist. I will also say that the close connections I made with my classmates also contributed to the learning experience, everyone was serious and ready to learn, ready to play, and ready to act. Charlie is the type of instructor that will tell you what acting is when he sees it; conversely, he will also tell you what acting is not when he sees it. As a student it is important to know the distinction and invaluable to hear when you are not acting. Charlie teaches you how to respect the truth by always telling it. Even when it hurts.Humberto Perez

Charlie, Karen, and Cherry are the absolute best. I've taken many classes in NY, since moving here three years ago. Nothing has been quite like the six week summer intensive at Maggie Flanigan studio. There is an energy the that the instructors bring to the place that is professional, safe, and filled with lots of heart and dedication. Each class brings you closer to taking yourself seriously as actor. The words, "home for the serious actor," fully encompass what it means to learn at the Maggie Flanigan studio. I feel changed as an artist, more confident, and inspired to dig deeper into the training. This is not a fun class to take in your free time. This is a class that will shed some light on what it means to live truthfully in the moment and to be prepared for a life long career. I'm very thankful that I decided to jump in.Christopher Ellis

I grew up there from age 2 to age 8.. I played there on the grounds , and from the very earliest years of my artistic life had the privilege of experiencing the wondrous variety and post hippie era 70s eccentricities of the students and their artwork as displayed.. All around the campus grounds inside and outside.. As well.. I was artistic and (being a kid in particular) very easily stimulated creatively by the beauty and variety of artwork I saw and the people students and faculty alike I got to know..Mistynne D Strong

I came this school on June 07. And today June 08/2018 . For some projects discuss with director of this school. An artistic is very easily stimulated creatively by the beauty and variety of artwork. I saw the people and students in this school building. They all greeting and welcome to me politely. I like hereZ Jing

I just got my offer into my dream school Cooper Union yesterday with the help of the art studio! The school is extremely selective, accepting only 65 art students per school year. I couldn't have done it without the help of all the staff and teachers. In the summer of my junior year, I finally decided that I want to pursue the art field at the last minute. It was a late start, but I enrolled in many sessions of the intensive summer portfolio prep and managed to get my portfolios done before the deadlines. My skills in drawing were great but I lack creativity and experience in painting. The courses helped me improve my paintings skills and explore my creativity. The teachers were all very nice and helped me a lot. Soo, the principal was very nice and professional. She cared for me like I was her own child. After finishing my portfolio, I signed up for 1v1 private lessons to prepare for my home test. Delia and Eun-Sun helped me explore ideas and gave me a lot of inspiration for my works. With their help, my home test was a success, leading me to get my offer in the end. It was a wonderful experience at the art studio and everyone was very nice. I learned how to create meaningful art and got my offer!Yufei Lin

I took the one-on-one college art portfolio prep lessons and it really helped. I'm really grateful that I came across this studio. It was pretty late when I decided to apply for art colleges and I was really worrying because I felt my portfolio was weak and didn't know how to fix it. Taking lessons here really gave me confidence in applying to college, knowing that I'll have some strong pieces. Though I took my classes online(bc I'm in another state), I was still able to improve my portfolio significantly. I liked that I was able to request instructors and see their past experiences. I worked with instructor Eun-Sun the longest and she was nice and really experienced. They guided me and reviewed through every step of all the projects to insure that it's a strong piece. I was also able to learn knew skills- new ways to make creative art works. I ended up being able to get accepted into MICA, SAIC, Parsons, Pratt, and received scholarship at Pratt and Parsons (88k) and SAIC(72k). I don't think I could have gotten in, especially with scholarship without the help of the studio and my instructor.Lily Wang

I took a graduate portfolio prep course for 6 months to apply interaction design(UI,UX design) major graduate schools. Previously, I graduated FIT, Accessories Design, and worked as a handbag designer for about 2 years. Since I don't have any experience related to interaction design, I was pretty anxious about working on my portfolio. Eunsun, Kyeom, and Eugina were so passionate and talented in terms of leading me to develop my portfolio with keeping my own perspective. They carefully listened my idea and then, gave advice and detail instruction to develop my idea to visual result. I made 9 artworks (using coding HTML, CSS, 3D mapping, soldering to make lighting, After Effect, Adobe Animate CC, Photoshop, Illustrator) and got accepted to RISD, Parsons, Pratt, Art Center, MICA, SAIC and got offered scholarship from RISD, Parsons, Art Center, MICA. Because I chose NY art studio, I could get accepted to those schools with scholarship. I really appreciate their help and passion..!Yoon Hee Cho

I never expected coming into a studio where the staff is just as invested as you are about the craft. Day one James Price gave me goosebumps throughout the ENTIRE class. He encompasses what an incredible storyteller can be. I’m captivated from beginning to end of class. The amount of value I have received (from day one!!!) will serve me throughout my entire career. It’s really hard for creatives to find a community especially one that makes you better! The Acting Studio is one you can trust. The amount of growth I’ve received challenges me in ways I didn’t even know I had in me and I’m on day one of Meisner training. That absolutely says something.Julia Sjakovs

I studied at the The Acting Studio NYC many years ago when I was in my early 20s and I’m very grateful that all the technique and tools I’ve learned in the two-year acting program carries me through the business that I run today. It has given me skills to support the success I have today in my career. Thank you James Price and staff .ROCCO SANTORUFO

I studied here in my extreme ' green' youth!" .James Price was An amazing Acting Teacher/Coach ! I'm So grateful that he was my first mentor ( after the Neighborhood Playhouse) and my career turned out great! I owe a ton to James Price. I'm in L.A. Now but I remember so much that James Price taught me !VERONICA ALICINO

I recommend some classes such as Painting and Drawing class, Introduction to Architectural Design, acrylic and oil painting and Beginner Illustrator classes at Pi Art center. The teacher allow students to fully develop and elaborate what they want to deliver onto the paper. And then fairly evaluate and comment at each hard work. Everyone over there are respectfully and friendly. The classes are easy to catch and learn from. The work tasks are clear to approach and study from. The study environment is relaxing and enjoyable:)Yang Bai

I’ll be starting my second semester in P.I art center and all I can say is that all of the classes are amazing. I’ve been taking Contemporary Photography, Portrait of the city, Drawing and Premier Pro classes so far. I’m satisfied with all of them. The teachers are dedicated, very patient and kind and the stuff is great. I’m very excited to continue exploring art with this school.Alina Sharonova

Teachers and the education level are great. There are a lot of options like art, film, digital media and more, that’s why I decided to study here. The NY campus is beautiful, clean and comfortable. They also have a lot of computers for the classes that need them. The location is nice, perfect to explore Manhattan. The admission advisors are very helpful to start the process!Laura Basurto Montoya

Treasure! Go if you l I’ve deep dive history of design. Just viewed the Threads of Power exhibit; loved the pieces, the people and especially the work room upstairs. I’ve been in the design industry my entire life and to be offered the opportunity to learn how to make bobbin lace was super cool. Listen to the audio for a trip back in time … Highly recommend!!!Jennifer Jiunta

My husband and I have 2 children ages 8 and 10 in their 6th year at Studio. We could not be happier with the education they are receiving there. My 10 year old daughter is filled with enthusiasm about Reading and Writing. The children are writing their own stories, and learning grammar, punctuation, vocabulary, spelling, and story telling in the process. She is excited about all of her assignments and classwork, and comes home from school ready to dive in to her homework. My son is excited about math. The teachers give the children a lot of individual attention which allows the kids to work at a pace that suits them. My son is working on decimals and fractions, and can't wait every night to show me where he is in his math workbook and what new skill he is working on. Studio's homework philosophy is also invaluable. Staff will tell you right away that homework is between the teacher and the student and you should not be involved in ensuring that your child does his/her homework or checking the homework. I was skeptical at first, but my kids do their homework without any reminders or pressure from me at all. They tell me that they have to get home early enough to have time for homework, or they ask me to wake them early so they can finish an assignment. They are learning academically, they are becoming responsible for themselves and their work, and they love going to school. We can't recommend Studio School highly enough.Lauren Wenegrat

My decision to enroll my daughters into The Studio School was definitely a back patting moment for me as a parent. I knew the moment I visited for a tour that an education from here would equate to a tremendous amount of personal growth along with a challenging academic curriculum. You know you’re a happy parent when even you have a favorite class! For me there were two. Logical Reasoning and Kitchen Science are by far a few of some of the most innovative approaches to encouraging hands on critical thinking skills. My children, having already been well prepared academically, graduated The Studio School a great deal more prepared for a future that they are now ready to find their place in.Doris Bien-Aime

The Studio School has been amazing not only for my children, but for our whole family. We feel genuinely cared for here and I know my children are in the hands of extremely talented educators. Bravo Studio School!Mick Wieland Design

I attended the Pre-College program at Juilliard way back in 1985. It was an emotional experience to bring my kids back to see and hear the sights and sounds of this iconic location. At present, I can barely recognize the place as much renovation is being done. Also, so beautiful at the time of my visit to see the music hall draped in the Ukrainian Flag! It brought me to tears – now being an aged man. I remember sitting next to Midori in one of the youth performances. My lessons with Eugene Becker and Mrs. Delay. Juilliard is a world renowned school of music. Back in my day, and being a person of color, it was somewhat bitter sweet. However, the school has worked endlessly to support and promote the arts to a diverse crowd. This truly shows as I now see so many young and talented children of color representing our famous institution. I never thought I would see this in my lifetime. I always knew such talent existed, but to see my own school recognize and promote is another story. Juilliard is an institution that you must visit at least once in your life. The talent held in this location is world class artists that do what I consider is "God's Work" – that is, the promotion of artistry of mankind.RACC J

Amazing experience. It is a beautiful place. You can enter into some areas or halls of the school with pictures of great artists and dancers. The area in front of it is amazing, with seats where you can admire the view, rest and have great time with your friends, as nice pictures. It is worth visiting it if you like dance and know a little about the school. It is well-know and many times appears in hollywood movies. It is New York so I think it is best to get there by metro (subway), if you are by car, you have to find a park-in-lot and pay for it. Well located too, close to many other touristics sites, stations and restaurants.Andrey Barbosa

I've always wanted to go to Juilliard. I'm 10, and I play 2 instruments(hopefully 3 soon) but I really want to become an actress. I've been joining Drama Kids since I was 5, and I've watched all those movies and TV shows, and then I knew that being an actress was right for me. I really hope I get accepted when I'm old enough. Also, I love New York. It was where I was born. So I'm really looking forward to going to Juilliard, which is right in the middle of New York City!!Angel Stewart

I'm an alumni and trust me, you will meet some good professors. But lots of the professors are unqualified and there is absolutely no way for student to complaint nor department take it seriously. I recently decided to come back for continuous study courses and against all the information that was provided on their website, instructor had issue with industry professional taking the course. Isn't that what continuous studies are about? Regardless FIT's official website description, instructor "recommended" me to withdrawal. I had pre-qualified class 99.89% score. Nor I intrupted the class. Despites all the odds, it was more so personal feeling/descrimination. Of course, department didn't care and simply refunded the course fee. I officially brought this issue to their student affair team, assistant executive emailed me and said "under investigation", never replied. I bet it is all under the rug by now. FIT knows that students will give up and no justice will happen. Regardless how inappropriate, discriminatory, unfair their employees or faculties are. Therefore, few good employees and faculties are always over worked and often leave the school. This is good school until you are the next person who are unfairly treated or get into an accident.Gihyang Kang

Definitely a school for rich kids. I've met students here that are just so unrealistic and stuck up. I've also met professors here that are so in their own world also unrealistic and stuck up, this school was a joke. The professors honestly are artists that couldn't make it so they teach. Definitely a school for students that are ready to focus very hard cause if you're there to have some fun then expect to fail. Some staff are very nice if you can get into the Eop program then you're doing better than most already. Don't let the rich kids make you feel bad with their stuck up attitudes or if you see one of them one day pull up to school in a rolls Royce while you're just stepping out the 1 train. Unless you're a rich kid yourself with tons of mommy and daddy's money I wouldn't recommend this school.Jimmy Dutch

don’t even think about going to this school I have experience discrimination in this school multiple times and yet nothing was done to give me justice or solve the issue the school also overworks it’s students to the point where they get sick the professors don’t care about your well being also they make you pay for supplies where half of the time you don’t even use all of the supplies and they also have poor communication skillskira

Tisch is a terrible school in terms of how it treats its students and their education. Deans have no idea how to deal with complaints, preferring to brush them off and force students to learn in mentally unsafe environments. The school has a lax policy on enforcement against bullying and is not above blaming the victim rather than the perpetrators. It is clear the administration does not understand or read its own bylaws on student safety and protection. 0/10 would not recommend. If you want to improve as an actor, go to another school.Taylor L
