Student reviews

Professors

Student

My Reason for selecting the New York School of Interior Design for a Master's in Interior Design was initially for the Networking opportunities and career growth as advertised on the NYSID website but once I started my classes, I saw how New York School of Interior Design changes your life and makes you a better professional.

Student

Quality of education is excellent. Many resources for students and knowledgeable professors. Campus is small and neighborhood is not ideal for students.

Student

Classes are not very easy and challenges you outside of your box but the professors are very helpful and understanding. Online schooling is also very flexible as long as you put enough time for your deadlines. Overall, I love it!

Student

NYSID so far has been a journey to say the least. I started off in the online BID program and decided to switch into the Bachelor's to continue my studies because I enjoyed the BID courses so much. There is a massive workload that comes with a full time schedule, far more than I anticipated. But with that heavy workload comes a ton of knowledge and growing confidence in the field.

Student

The layout of the semester was clear and concise per course. I had no issues following the curriculum. The only thing that needed improvement was the system used to take mid-terms and finals as it prompts you to pay, but there could easily be technological difficulties that could cause a person to over pay for a test.

Student

Great professors and students! The professors are very knowledgeable and really want yup to succeed. The students are very nice and friendly and all help each other and cheer you on. The classes are small which allows for individual attention. They also have online classes for some lecture classes which is great!

Student

NYSID’s interior design program is thorough, but quite labor intensive. The adjunct faculty bring qualitative anecdotes that can be amusing and/or astonishing, but always noteworthy. I am confident that upon graduation, I will have a thorough understanding of my field, will have access to resources and a network of friends and contacts in ID, as well as, opportunities for further my education through a masters program.

Campus and vibes

Student

NYSID’s esteemed faculty, talented students and notable board members are a collaborative and supportive academic community, that is committed to excellence. And, the Beaux-Arts period building, itself in the tree-lined Upper East Side neighborhood is a place of inspiration and resource, that houses a well-curated design and decoration library.

Alumni

Today, as a successful sole practitioner in Florida, my foundation with NYSID continues to prove both practical and meaningful. To anyone considering NYSID, I’m confident they’ll be thankful for the life-changing experience - academically, professionally and personally!

Student

Other than forming meaningful personal and professional connections, I have made beautiful memories, with my peers, professors, and staff. This Institution helps you inspire to dream big and reach for better opportunities in the Industry. I saw people with different background aiming to be the Change in the industry. Emphasis on sustainable routes of designing was very evident in all design studios and electives that I took.
