<p>from personal experience i can't say anything about FIDM, but from other people's experiences, i've heard that FIDM has been a waste of time. Their credits don't transfer anywhere, so if you wantt o continute gettin a bachelor's elsewhere you'd have to start from freshman year again.</p>
<p>I've heard that FIDM students don't take the classes seriously, that a lot of the students their are for the wrong reasons, just attending because it's a trendy thing to do-to be at a fashion school. THey confuse fashion for shopping, and for me, the whole entire way they handle admissions is extremely weird. i think anyone can get in, they just want your money. I say this because besides its aproprietary school, when you get accepted you immediately have to submit a deposit even if you're not sure you'll attend. And no i'm not confusing this, i know because some girl i knew applied during december or november, for the following school year was required to submit a deposit even if she wasn't sure or planned on attending. They say it's part of the application process. which is retarded because we all know that the national deadline to submit a deposit is may 1st.</p>
