<p>Hi! Random post here, but I found this interesting because I am a current student at Parsons. </p>
<p>I am not a photo major, I am a Design and Management major, but my roommate and many of my close friends are photography majors. In fact, I’ve modeled for many of their shoots. </p>
<p>There are tons of things to know about this school, for one we don’t have a cohesive campus, but many of our buildings are in very impressive locations on Fifth Ave, and have state of the art labs and studios. As far as a social life goes, if you live in the dorms you’re fine, I’ve had not a single problem in that matter, the kids here are super nice and fun. You also socialize with kids from other New School branches, such as Eugene Lang and the Jazz school. Another thing I’ve noticed here is that acceptance is largely talent based, grades and scores won’t guarantee you anything, they help for sure, as long as you have a strong portfolio. Portfolio and talent come above all. It is also very expensive, but manageable. The photo program is strongly, STRONGLY, based on fashion, but you can still venture out into other fields, but Parsons is mostly known for it’s fashion in the end. </p>
<p>If you have any other questions about the school you can just send me a message. :)</p>
