Starting the Strategic Design and Management program at Parsons this fall—does anyone have any tips or advice for making the most of my time there I'd love to hear both academic and life advice? #Spring25

Hi everyone! 😊 I’m starting the Strategic Design and Management program at Parsons this upcoming fall, and I’m super excited (and a little nervous, not gonna lie). I’d love to hear from anyone who’s either in the program now or has gone through it before—what are some things you wish you knew when you started? Any advice on making the most out of the classes, professors, or projects? And on the flip side, any challenges I should be aware of or tips for staying on top of things? Also, I’d really appreciate any life advice—like ways to get involved, make friends, or just feel more at home at Parsons or in NYC in general. Whether it’s about navigating the creative culture, balancing school and life, or even favorite study spots or cafes, I’m all ears! Thanks so much in advance! 🙏
