“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.

“Everything I wanted to say about RIT hasBrightIndustrial Design
Everything I wanted to say about RIT has been said already. The comments on the social life, the broken spitits of the students, the terrible weather, etc etc. There are some great points to this school as well, depending on your major, the academics can be competitive with Ivy league schools, and you will be in demand when you graduate. But, looking back at my four years here at RIT, I cant help but think about the "what ifs". What if I did decide to go through with transfering out my sophomore year with the other half of my friends? What if I had not joined a fraternity here? Upon reflection, I think I should have transferred out back in 2002. The years between freshman year and graduation are precious and irreplacable, dont waste them being unhappy in a school you dont like, whatever the reason. You're paying too much money to be unhappy.

“If you're a chick- don't come here unlessQuite BrightPublic Policy
If you're a chick- don't come here unless you'll feel comfortable taking classes that have 33 guys, and 2 girls. Man-haters and those fearful of living in a dorm with 3:1 guy:girl ratio need not apply. On the other hand, these poor boys could use some more good women. If you have some sort of need to be in the company of other estrogen produces, there are sororities and a cheerleading squad in desperate need of fresh blood. Personally I love it here. I'm in the new honors program, which will hopefully someday be worth all the trouble it's putting us freshmen through. I found friends (and a good man) in the fraternity scene, though I'm not a big partier myself. I wouldn't be caught dead joining a sorority- one of the reasons I came here was because I don't want to have to be around chicks all the time. The key to success is that you have to be extremely devoted to your major and future career to make it through the system. Otherwise all the annoyances will send you packing within a quarter or two. Just focus on how much money you'll be making when you graduate, and you can usual forgive the dreary atmosphere.
