Kent State-- Ranked 3rd Best Fashion School in the Country!

How could I not mention that I am attending the third best fashion school in the country and the 13th best fashion school IN THE WORLD?!

That's right, in January the popular online fashion magazine, Fashionista.com, compared The Shannon Rodgers and Jerry Silverman School of Fashion Design and Merchandising here at Kent State to other design schools, colleges, and universities that offer stellar programs not only in fashion, but also in areas of business, marketing, styling, textiles, and technology programs, and determined Kent State to be third in country and 13th in the world. 

According to the website, the list of top schools was generated by speaking to students, employees at the schools, companies who hire graduates, and industry professionals. Tuition costs, demographics, famous alums, and variety in programming were also considered.

I feel honored to have the opportunity to study at such a world-renowned institution in the field of fashion and can not wait to see where graduating from such a school will take me. :)
