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!

Five Towns College has provided me a place where I can learn my craft in a safe, creative environment. I am surrounded my like-minded people who support and encourage me to learn and make me better at what I want to do! However, Five Towns College is not very financially helpful with scholarships so it puts so much pressure on me to succeed as Five Towns College is expensive to attend for just one semester.
Thought Five Towns College was a cool place to be, at first. But, it's not really. FTC loves to claim that they are diverse BUT the fact of the matter is that they do not treat black people or POC fairly. They claim that they care about us but they don't. So far, being in this school I've seen and experienced flat out racism and discrimination from RAs and higher-ups and it doesn't sit well with me knowing that I have to spend 3 more years here. And this is only my first year here.
You can collaborate with students and they have your back. A lot of the teachers are great but higher-ups are questionable
I felt like there was one teacher cared about minorities in the school and because they spoke up about it.. well you can ask anyone that goes to school here what happened... Yes, you can get good grades here. Yes, it's a diverse school but if you're a person of color, I suggest you look at a more diverse administration because they only claim diversity because it's beneficial to them.
