Precollege Summer Housing

FIT's SUMMER LIVE/WORKSHOP HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES:
Listed below are some housing options families have used in the past for Precollege Programs.

FYI: Unfortunately, housing in Manhattan is nearly impossible for high school students in the 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 (July 3, 5, or 7, 2013) so you will have time to settle-in, relax and get your student ID card.  The first day of Summer Live classes is July 8th.  The final day of class is a full day, held on July 25th.  The first day of Precollege Summer Workshops for High School students is June 24th.

The college is located at West 27th Street, between 7th and 8th Avenues. This midtown location, the center of the fashion industries, is easily reached by every subway, major railroad line, and bus route in the city. There are also parking garages in the neighborhood, however there is no on-campus parking.
