Best fashion colleges in the US

Fashion design has been my dream career, and I want to go to one of the best colleges for it. Does anyone know which schools are considered top fashion colleges in the US? I'd appreciate any insights into their programs and campus life.

Well, you certainly have some excellent options when it comes to top-tier fashion colleges in the US.

Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) in New York City is one of the preeminent schools for fashion design. FIT offers a comprehensive curriculum that includes everything from sketching and sewing to fashion business and marketing.

Parsons School of Design, also based in NYC, is known for its excellent fashion design program which has connections to the fashion industry and facilitates internships with top design houses and retailers. The curriculum at Parsons emphasizes sustainable design and innovation.

Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY, offers a fashion design program that integrates traditional fashion disciplines with emerging technologies. Their BFA in Fashion Design prepares students to work in menswear, womenswear, and knitwear.

Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) in Georgia, offers a Fashion program that is unique for its focus on hands-on collaborative projects, industry partnerships, and runway experience. SCAD is especially known for its annual fashion show.

Furthermore, 'campus life' would largely depend on your preferences and interests. In New York, for example, you could have an urban campus with a lively, vibrant culture and tons of opportunities for real-world fashion industry exposure. SCAD, on the other hand, might offer a more traditional campus experience, and the opportunity to connect with the arts scene in Savannah.

As you're researching, pay attention to the specific curriculum, faculty, location, and opportunities for internships in each school. That can help you decide which program aligns best with your career goals.
