Starting college is a scary time for many students. We ponder what we will experience, what friends—if any—we will make, and what events we will be able to participate in. When I was a senior in high school, I knew New York City is where I belonged, and after attending Accepted Students Day, I became convinced that LIM was the place for me. Below are things that I wish I knew my first semester at LIM College, because of course, everything turned out alright!
At the risk of sounding ignorant and out of touch with who I was, I did not believe I was creative. LIM quickly helped me realize that I knew more than I thought I did about graphic design. Through The Lexington Line, I found what my true talents were, how I could use them in a way I enjoyed, and honestly, that I was not meant to do something I thought I would do for years of my life.

"In my first few months in NYC, I landed a job as a men's stylist for J. Crew and learned all about the suiting industry, tailoring, and gaining a clientele... I visited corporate offices of companies I had dreamed about working for."

I'll start off by saying that I personally think this is one of the best programs run by the school. It allows a student to gain experience, aid other students, and build connections. This is my second year receiving an offer letter to be a student mentor for the coming year.
Our next club series highlight is on the “glamorous” side. This focuses on LIM College’s Cosmetics Club.
On January 10th and 11th, the National Retail Federation held its annual Big Show right here in NYC at the Marriott Marquis in Times Square. This show is an amazing opportunity to hear from big names and brilliant minds who currently make up the fashion and retail industry—our industry.
On Thursday, April 30, LIM’s community came together virtually to celebrate The Lexington Line’s “Lost Issue.”
For this club highlight, we’ll be looking to where much of our content is actually curated: The Blog Club!
