# Best Decision # Approachable
I'm extremely happy to be a part of WIFD and I believe that it was one of my best decisions. Their faculty were amazing. They are very approachable and available to answer any questions at any time. They care about how the students are doing within the course and whether we understand, rather than just giving out information and letting the students absorb it however they want. I must say this is one of the top institutes for Fashion Designing.
