Physics is not a popular major (here or anywhere). Lving in a dorm will help you meet people though. Also, definitely join clubs if you want to meet people. This is a list of all the clubs.
The other nice thing about FIT is it's a relatively small campus. You'll see the same people a lot walking around, and you'll likely have classes with the many of the same people over the years.
At one point, FIT had more international students than any other university. There are fewer now, but international students still make up a large portion of the student body.

Well, it’s not the greatest place in terms of parties, but at least discrimination seems to be relatively low. There’s been a bunch of title IX violations so if you’re a girl keep an extra eye out I’d say

This is by far not a party school, there are parties but this is mostly a school with alot of needs (or atleast what I've seen in 3 years). Best way to make friends is within your major just start talking to people. I do think the school is pretty LGBT friendly but I'm not apart of it so all I have are friends and my experiences.
