Parsons School of Design at The New School Reviews
The only downside of Parsons will be its lack of student life or a sense of community. The campus is spread out in the middle of Manhattan, which makes it hard to meet other students outside of the classroom. Additionally, most students live off campus and dorms for primarily for first year students.
The teachers are usually amazing, however, they had to set the record for longest adjunct strike in US history just to get fair pay and healthcare.
Aside from the occasional narcissistic professor here and there, the teachers are so amazing and truly passionate. They teach you new ways of thinking and always have your best interest in mind.
If the administration wasn't such a mess this school would be a 10/10
