After four years of attending RIT I (like many others) would not reccomend RIT to my worst enemy.

Question
I've got one word for anyone thinking ofQuite BrightBusiness - Management and Administration
I've got one word for anyone thinking of attending RIT.. STRESS!! It seems every year we hear about suicides, in fact last year one student tried to blow his head up with a homemade bomb. (Thank god it didn't work) Al Simone (the president) along with the rest of administration DO NOT listen to students feelings. This school is nothing more than a business, and not here to help students gain a rounded education and social experience. I personally also did not like being accused and found guilty of stealing a campus sign when I did not. One year probation for doing nothing :-/

Question
Rit's biotech program was generally pretty good.BrightBiology
Rit's biotech program was generally pretty good. The teachers are mostly good, there are some that barely speak English and it is awful at times. I thought there was plenty to do around Rochester. WARNING: RIT does not care about you, all they care about is your money. That's it. Year by year i found myself hating RIT as a whole, but liking the College of Science more and more. RIT takes in more students than they can house, which forces a good percent of students to live in the "RIT Inn" which is located miles and miles off campus. The on campus housing is pretty terrible, small rooms to be shared by two people in the only affordable ones. We will see how well I was trained to enter the workforce - I feel like the program did a good job but it was just not worth all the money this vampire university sucks from you.
