All together a great school for your acedemics and getting the job done at school. Not a place to come if you arent serious about what you want to do. Social aspect could recieve a makeover though.

Question
All I can say that this univerisity isAverageSchool of Information
All I can say that this univerisity is plan bored and makes me so depressed. Because I am so depressed, I didn't maintain my grades very well. When I first came, I did. The point here is that RIT social life makes is so plan bored. As a matter of fact, it degrading my socializing skills with other people.

I am getting tired of people gluing their butts on the computer 24/7 and have nothing else to do! But I can't complain, it's their life.

The teacher at RIT doesn't necessarily values student's life. They just value all about themselves. They just invest their money on something that please themsleves. They just purchase a 60 million dollars worth of a artichiture statue of something. I am not quite sure what it is. But that I heard. It's so obvious that 60 million dollars is part of our college expenses. And They are cutting of programs, teachers, loans, and other source that helps students to become successful in college. There is alot of list that goes on. And pretty most of the things are covered on what other undergraduated student posted on this forum.

Question
If you come to RIT, I hope youQuite BrightSchool of Information
If you come to RIT, I hope you like red brick. _EVERY_ building on the RIT campus is built out of the same red brick. I'm a gay student who is "out of the closet" and RIT feels safe to me, both as a gay student and a student in general. Everyone's open-minded here-the school is strongly for gay-partners-having-equal-rights. For the most part, the school is good. The dorms are small, but well-maintained and nothing looks old/dirty. The meal plans are a pain though-especially the freshman ones. RIT makes a big deal out of appartment-housing for upperclassman-this year, only about 1/2 the people that wanted appartments got them, FYI.

Overall, RIT is a good school, though rather expensive. Additionally, I question their policies and classes at times, but don't feel I'm worse off here than elsewhere.One important note-RIT is the NTID-basically, that means that there's a lot of deaf students around. This isn't necessarily bad, but if you don't know ASL, at times you will feel left out watching 2 deaf people have a conversation
