The Rochester Institute of Technology

It takes a pretty good amount to phase me and I am highly tolerant, even happy to spend time on my own. I have a solid amount of friends at RIT, I always know of parties though not necessarily huge ones and not entirely RIT hosted ones, but I can tell you for a fact, there is a much vaster majoity of students that hate attending this school in contrast with other schools, I can't tell you how often I wonder what it would be like to go to a school people do like--everyone else i know loves their college, and almost everyone here hates it.

Rochester is a bit of a dreary town that people tend to dislike as well, but there is some cool stuff to explore, a couple clubs and whatnot--it is kind of broken down and bluntly, ghetto, near and in the city, though, and with alledgedly as much crime and more murders in our tiny population than in NYC.

As for my major? the bio + bio lab teachers ive had were enjoyable in lecture, i thought, and passionate, which I really liked - but test-wise--who knew where those questions came from?! grading thus seemed unfair, though i did moderately well.

in regards to the professors for all of the other sciences and even math at RIT , and I'm pretty sure other bio courses I havent taken yet, are horrific. creative writing teachers were horrible as well, yes i know, it is a tech school, but there are language/journalism/writing majors here too. I'd say about 10% or so of your teachers will be senile, %60 will have really thick accents or not speak fluent english, and 85% will just be horrible teachers in some unique wsy you didnt have the imagination to consider beforehand.

I have had several majors and the teachers in them weren't especially great either. I had a truly horrible american politics prof., business professors were usually full of S$ht, and art teachers were often immature--you had to be teacher's pet. I don't really recommend this school; overall, most of your friends will leave you during/after the first year (more than half the class does) and you will find yourself feeling stuck here. a small proportion of students do like the school.

Campus Maintenance: A, Education Quality: D-

I just don't understand people that like RIT. I don't know what they like about? Brick city? ugly girls? boring city? Weather? ignorant faculty members? Terrible on-campus apartments? mouse hole dorms? DAMN QUARTER SYSTEM?

I mean come on? i think i made a huge mistake to transfer to RIT. I have read articles on this website before i transferred here and i was thinking that it should not be too bad. Are you freaking kidding me ? This university is designed to take 4-5 years out of your life. I am not Joking. Some people referred it is what you make out of it, that is completely BS. Quality of education? You must be kidding me ? I have to learn everything myself, do you think i can get all those labs done with the help of stupid PowerPoints?

I go to class, instructor shows PowerPoints, and i go to lab and write a lab report and done. Do you think he deserves his salary ? My instructor comes to class drinks his coffee and reads from slides and i complete labs. Some of you might say right now, so why the hell are you doing in RIT then? because i moved here and i can not go back bec of financial reasons.Otherwise i would be gone long long time ago believe me.

Parties? I mean sausage festivals ? yeah just attend one of them you will know what i am talking about. Sport clubs, how the hell i am gonna find time to play sports with this busy schedule? I bough a $100 book 700 pages and instructor only goes 200 pages in 10 weeks quarter, so why i paid that money for 200 pages? i don't know, i was told to do so. Some people referred about co-op :) What if i don't want to go to co-op? let me graduate and find a job myself? Let me get the hell out of RIT and then find a job myself, and put my diploma that i had co-op and i did not have co-op. So what ? Bottom line is, i don't like RIT at all, some courses are fun but overall don't come to this school to be miserable for 4-5 years in your life. Go to different school and enjoy your life. You will only live this life once, and enjoy every single minute of it.
