This was a fantasticSuper BrilliantChemical Engineering
This was a fantastic school that landed me an excellent job offer when I get out of college because of their Co-op program. Simply a wonderful school with lots of financial aid. There is everything from study clubs, to parties, to sports.

Question
RIT is great.BrightBiology
RIT is great. People often complain that there is no social life or parties. That couldn't be farther from the truth. You just have to be invited to them. Which is not hard, the only people that don't get invited are those who spend all their time gaming.

Getting laid is easy as long as you are not fat.The academics are challenging but paid internships are easy to come by and this school gives great finical aid if you work hard.

Question
RIT really is a great place, but youQuite BrightPolitical Science
RIT really is a great place, but you should know what you want to study the moment you get to RIT. It's hard to change your major, especially if you want to change to a BFA or out of your college.

People are generally friendly, but you might have to go out of your way to talk to people. If you are friendly, people will be friendly to you. If you want to have a social life, you can have one. There is a lot to do on campus if you put yourself out there.

RIT really is a great school. Even if you are struggling, RIT is there to help you succeed. Your advisour wants to help you achieve what you want at RIT.

Ellingson dorms are nice. They are big, air conditioned, and you only have to share a bathroom with 5 people. The deaf community in Ellingson is really great and not as noisy as people say.
