I was an actively involved student who lived on campus all 4 years at FTC & graduated in 2016 with a BFA in film/video. This school is really what you make of it. I personally had an incredible experience due to both dorming & being very involved in student activities and Residence life. The small student to teacher ratio and hands on learning with top of the line equipment really prepared me for my career in my field. The classes are easy as long as you pay attention and the professors what to see you succeed.
The school it's self is mostly a small commuter school. It was once an elementary school and the food certainly is not award worthy but there are a lot of nearby places to eat within a 5 minute drive. The dorms are some of the biggest & newest dorms on long island. There are 4 buildings offering either double or single options. The dorming community may be small but the people you meet are incredibly talented & are the heart of the campus. I highly recommend getting Involved!

Very limited class selection. No room for electives besides 9 credits for all 4 years, and each class is 3 credits. Only one place to eat on campus and they have a very limited selection, especially if you have any dietary restrictions. There is very little communication between the college and its students and it’s extremely difficult to get in contact with anyone if you need assistance. A month into the first semester, they refused to let me continue attending because I did not want to get the Covid vaccine, even though that was not a condition of my acceptance and the mandate was only implemented after I had already committed. They refused to return my deposit and all the tuition and fees I had paid, and even attempted to charge me additional fees because I did not meet the criteria of a scholarship they had given me, even though the scholarship was not in use since I was no longer attending. Overall, not a good experience, even if that whole situation had not happened.
