It’s a perfect setting to live, learn, play, and grow.

Live, Eat, and Sleep FIT
With four residence halls housing over 2,200 students, varied options to suit your lifestyle, and flexible meal plans, living on campus can be a great choice.

It’s Not Just FIT. It’s Tradition.
We’re always rethinking the status quo. But some things should never change—like Family Weekend and Wellness Week. We love them and we think you will too.
Make it here. Make it anywhere. The history. The diversity. Uncommon ideas and unlimited opportunities. There’s no other place like it. At FIT, you’ll join a community of creative thinkers and doers who are making it here — and all around the globe.
