The Rochester Institute of Technology

I have spent two years at RIT and I am 100% transferring out of that hellhole officially. I can tell you that RIT has a good reputation, but the question is.. how popular is RIT? I have told my friends back home that I go to RIT and their reactions were always like, where is that..? That clearly tells us that RIT needs to spread its name all over the nation. I'm transferring to a State University and I swear to god, it was the best decision I have ever made for awhile.

1. People
People suck. People are not easy to approach. Especially if you are a deaf individual, I'd say you are fucked. Hearing students are difficult to meet.. but deaf people are difficult to meet. So, I fell in between of both worlds, which sucked.

2. Parties
Parties are not big on RIT campus. You have to know people that party all the time, but you would have to hang out with them ALL THE TIME. If you started hanging out with other people, they won't invite you anymore.

RIT said it's a dry campus.. AHAH. Sure! It's a dry campus. Just wait until you start classes there. You will understand.

3. Classes
Classes are challenging enough for me. Some classes are very easy. Some classes are supposed to be easy, but RIT makes it way harder for everyone. That part sucked.

4. NTID Services
NTID services SUCK. I hate the every bit of NTID services. They are snooty and are not very helpful. I can't get classes with C-Print service because it's not "supported" so you will be limited to many classes when you sign up for classes. I hated it because I'm limited to few sections for certain classes. It's ridiculous because I paid some decent money to go to that school and I get shitty services. Trust me, RIT does a good job at flowering all shit up on campus and I'm sure they were like, Ohh we have good services for the deaf and hard of hearing... YEAH RIGHT. Don't fall for that!

5. Campus
It's boring. Ugly. It's a bunch of bricks. It surely can make you really, really depressed.
6. Dorms/Apartments
It's difficult to get a fucking room to live in! The Housing Operations is not good at placing people into rooms. The school I am going to transfer gives me OPTIONS to live in. It's really nice to have that while RIT doesn't provide that for students.

7. RIT/Faculty
RIT only wants money from you. It's a private school so they don't get any money from the state of New York. So they will fine you for many things so they won't be broke in the end.

The bottom line.. don't go there if you think they would happen to you. RIT really, really screws you over in the end.
