FIT's 2008 SUMMER LIVE HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES:

FYI:
Unfortunately, housing in Manhattan is nearly impossible for high school students this summer. Please consider neighboring areas such as other boroughs (Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx), Long Island, New Jersey, Connecticut (south) and any other town that connects to easy transportation such as NYC's MTA, PATH, NJ Transit, MetroNorth and Long Island Rail Roads. All of these trains provide easy accessibility to FIT.
 

 

RECOMMENDED BOOKING DATES:
       We recommend arriving early enough before your chosen orientation date so you will have time to settle-in, relax and get your student ID card. Orientation for new students is on your choice of July 2nd, 3rd or the 6th
. Returning students do not need to attend Orientation. (Click here for times)
      The first day of class is July 7th.  The final day of class is a full day, held on July 24th. (Morning classes end at 12:30pm, afternoon classes end at 4:30pm.)
