I agree with all the posters who mentioned that school is mostly what you choose to get out of it.

Parson, FIT, Central StMartins and Chambre Syndicale all have a prestigious alumni, but for all the famous alumni there are probably 1000 alumni who work a dull, anonymous job for a pathetically low wage, and many who never find work (or, at least, work they will accept) in the Fashion Industry.

In Canada, Colleges and Universities are required, by law, to post their graduate success rates (how many % are working in the industry post-program). Check and see if any interesting schools do that.
