“College had helped me get over my home-sickness,Design Arts - Industrial Design/Graphic Design/etc
College had helped me get over my home-sickness, got me prepared for deadlines so i could be ready for the real deadlines that comes up during the jobs.
what i think i should have done was that i should have had internships/apprenticeships so i'll see what the world has to offer, as well as build up my resume and experience. having just the degree from RIT didnt get me a good job any quicker or easier. it took me 10 years and perseverence to get there.here's what i recommend: be sure that you get internships/apprenticeships so you get work experience needed. most companies want experience with impressive portfolio. while one may have a great portfolio.. work experience is mainly the key.

“I am a transfer student from a communityAverageArt & Design Department
I am a transfer student from a community college into the photography department. First and formost this school is wonderful especially if you are looking to come here for photo, engineering, anything computer related. From what I understand this school is also very good about giving financial aid. Yes the campus is bricky, but its very clean and upkept and you aren't shelling out the big bucks for pretty buildings. Although parties do exist (especially in colony manor) this isnt the school to come to if you want to party 85% of the time and attend class once in a while. The teachers in the photo department for the most part know their stuff and very willing to help so long as you dont ask for it five minutes before a critique. This campus is very diverse, it is almost like walking through New York City in the sense that there are actually quite a few spoken languages, including sign language since NTID is here as well. You need an open mind for this place. The facilities for the photography department are outragous. There are individual darkrooms (so your classmates can't sabotge your work) and almost every camera and piece of camera equipment that a student could ever and possibly only imagine, available for use. Although most students are here are generally introverted, everyone is really nice.

“I've been here for a while and ImBrightSchool of Information
I've been here for a while and Im glad and ok that I went here. I'm a transfer student and one thing I noticed is the kids giving crap about this school are either:
a)interior design majors
b)excessive partiers who whineIt's amazing that some people give bad reviews cause its all brick. Wow!! The buildings are all brick, let's cry about it! This school is definately NOT as bad as some people say it is. Im in the IT major and so far its a decent experience. Although fair warning for IT majors, a decent amount of the kids in here love or are obsessed with computers or videogames. For me, Im obsessed with music but I am good with computers so I don't really mind it but for some people it will bug them if they connect with some of the obsessed IT kids. There are girls here and surprisingly a decent amount for a school like this (alot of girls here are artsy which I find attractive so if you don't, you will think they are nasty) This school has a quarter system which is good and bad for two reasons. The good is that teachers have less time to teach material so busy work is at an all-time low. The bad is of course, a faster rate and more upcoming exams/quizes. Socially, you will love it, hate it, or be whatever like I am. If you are a really outgoing person who loves to party everynight you will hate this school. Alot of the school's kids are introverted and are a bore to even talk to (alot of the engineers are dead on the inside) but you will find someone like any school; if not, make freinds by going to shows, etc. The school has a mix of alot of nerdy dudes, artsy guys, normal preppy guys, metalheads, punks, so, you will find alot of different people versus a dull state school. In summation, I would recommend this school to anyone who can actually study and also be ready for a diverse type of crowd. If I had a chance to rethink it I might have tried another major but I'm not much good at anything else so probably not. Just remember again, alot of the people complaining are crybabies. The people who can't find jobs are either in a overcrowded major with no jobs available or do not look for jobs outside of there area (maybe one two states, I plan to apply not only in all states but also in other countries).
