HOUSING
Moving to a new city or just living on your own for the first
time can be a challenging and rewarding experience.
Whether you want to live with other FIDM Students in a
dorm-like residence or just need help exploring local
rental options, the FIDM Student Housing Office is here to
guide you every step of the way.
Home Away From Home FIDM Student Housing
feels like independent living with dorm-like rules
and services. It’s a great opportunity to make
friends, learn life skills, and be part of a smaller
community within FIDM. It’s also a stepping-stone
to fully independent living. If independent housing is
a better fit, apartment and roommate referrals are
available via the FIDM Portal for accepted students.
FIDM Students also have the option to connect
with potential roommates through a private social
network for FIDM Applicants and Students.

CAREER DEVELOPMENT
A student meets with a representative from Cole Haan during FIDM’s Industry Expo.
At many colleges “career assistance” is just a bulletin
board on a wall. At FIDM, we understand the importance
of gaining professional career advice. A full-time depart-
ment works one-on-one with you to identify industry-
related internships and employment opportunities so
you can gain valuable experience while attending college.
When You’re Ready to Graduate, our FIDM Career
Advisors partner with you to support your goals and
help guide you on the right career path. You will have
access to Career Network—a dynamic, user-friendly
online system that lets students and alumni search
and apply for jobs, make appointments with Advisors;
search keywords for jobs, employers, or companies;
and post a profile including portfolio, resume, and
website. Based on our long-standing relationships
with major companies in our industries, many firms
use the Career Center as their main source
to recruit talented FIDM Students and Alumni.
FIDM’s Career Center works with an industry network of thousands of employers nationwide.

INTERNSHIPS

At FIDM, we believe that students get more out of their
education when they apply what they’ve learned as they
work alongside professionals in their field. The Career
Center works hard to research industry-related
internships so our students can get valuable experience
on their resumes while attending college.
On The Job Training FIDM works with top companies to give students access to some
of the best internships available. Here are just a few companies that work with FIDM
