Congrats to all of those applicants who have been accepted! My daughter is one of the lucky ones and she is thrilled!
However, I have a couple of questions:

Does anyone know how the housing process works? Does the student choose which dorm and/or room type they want. On the website, it looks like there are many options,some of which include meal plan and some that don’t. I assumed that all of the freshman dorms’ style of living was the same,but maybe I am mistaken.

Also, I didn’t see any mention of an “accepted student’s day” in the acceptance packet… does the school offer any type of open house, or info day for accepted students?

Lastly, FIT’s health insurance seems costly. Do most students just use the health insurance from their family? My experience with my older daughter at another college is that it was easier for her to purchase the school’s insurance so that when she went to the infirmary, everything was covered. However, their cost is not close to the $800 policy at FIT.

Thanks in advance!!
