Hi everyone, I'm considering attending FIT and I'm curious about the cost of living on campus. Can anyone provide some info on the cost of dorms at FIT? Thanks in advance!
Hello! The Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) offers a variety of on-campus housing options with different price points depending on the type of room and building you choose. Here are the general rates for the 2022-2023 academic year as an example:
- Traditional Style:
- Triple: $5,000 - $6,000 per semester
- Double: $6,000 - $7,000 per semester
- Single: $7,000 - $8,000 per semester
- Suite/Apartment Style:
- 4-person or 5-person: $7,000 - $8,000 per semester
- 3-person: $8,000 - $9,000 per semester
- 2-person: $9,000 - $10,000 per semester
- Single: $10,000 - $11,000 per semester
These are approximate costs and can change each academic year, so it's always a good idea to check FIT's website for the most up-to-date housing prices. Keep in mind that these costs include utilities and Wi-Fi, but meal plans are separate and will add to the overall expense.
Financial aid may help cover some of these costs, depending on your individual financial situation. Make sure to complete the FAFSA and any other necessary financial aid applications to help offset housing costs if needed. And, if you're unsure about living on campus, consider comparing the cost of living off-campus in nearby apartments - the cost of rent in New York is extremely high, but you may still end up being able to save money, especially if you live with a roommate or two.
Good luck!
