Rit is really aQuite BrightComputer Engineering
Rit is really a good school with a good program but you just have to find your fun and your social life yourself, nobody is gonna throw it in your face but i assure you its there if you look for it. Its a very challenging school where the work never ends but when your done you feel acomplished

Question
The faculty in my department did try veryIndustrial Design
The faculty in my department did try very hard. Unfortunately, it was too little, too late. Seriously, if you want to learn about tecniques, and creative ways to cram, then by all means, come to RIT. But if youre serious about ID, you want to be competitive and learn about the latest trends in the market today. . . look elsewhere. Its almost been a full year, and most of my class is still unemployed. A few have gone on to grad school, and I can verify that 4 found employment. Beyond that, we're drifting. Check out Cincinatti instead; they have a REAL internship/co-op program.

Question
This isn't a partyQuite BrightComputer Science
This isn't a party school. I did too much partying in highschool. If I had attended a "party school", I would have failed out by now. This school slowed me down a bit. I also met the love of my life at this school. She's one of the few beautiful girls here. Good luck finding one yourself :)
