It depends on which campus you're asking about because they all are different! My friends graduated from the FIDM LA campus and they say it's not that big and I've visited the campus and I can tell you from personal experience that you can't get lost and if you do, there's lots of nice people you can ask for directions but the classrooms are on different floors of a building that sits on Grand Hope Park so it's not like your typical college campus but I'm sure the other campuses aren't too big either :)
FIDM Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising
Yes the art institute of Dallas does have a fashion program. They have many different degrees in fashion associates and bachelors in retail management and fashion design
Each FIDM campus has a different student population and if you check out FIDM's website, they have around 8,000 students but I'm sure that for all four of their campuses.
You can study Fashion Design at any Arts Institute for $141,037 or you can go to a place like Fashion Institute of Design and Manufacturing for around $60,000 that is before housing cost. You can also go to Parsons over in New York. Those are three of the most known Fashion Colleges. I will say that Fashion Institute of Design and Manufacturing is the college I suggest because of it's refined curriculum to where you only learn what you are going to need for the Fashion Industry. Also the Arts Institute if a 4 year program and Fashion Institute of Design and Manufacturing is a 2 year program and you are going to have complete LIFETIME access to a Career Center that can help you form a resume and you are also GUARANTEED a job in the Fashion Industry upon graduation.
