The Rochester Institute of Technology

It takes a pretty good amount to phase me and I am highly tolerant, even happy to spend time on my own. I have a solid amount of friends at RIT, I always know of parties though not necessarily huge ones and not entirely RIT hosted ones, but I can tell you for a fact, there is a much vaster majoity of students that hate attending this school in contrast with other schools, I can't tell you how often I wonder what it would be like to go to a school people do like--everyone else i know loves their college, and almost everyone here hates it.

Rochester is a bit of a dreary town that people tend to dislike as well, but there is some cool stuff to explore, a couple clubs and whatnot--it is kind of broken down and bluntly, ghetto, near and in the city, though, and with alledgedly as much crime and more murders in our tiny population than in NYC.

As for my major? the bio + bio lab teachers ive had were enjoyable in lecture, i thought, and passionate, which I really liked - but test-wise--who knew where those questions came from?! grading thus seemed unfair, though i did moderately well.

in regards to the professors for all of the other sciences and even math at RIT , and I'm pretty sure other bio courses I havent taken yet, are horrific. creative writing teachers were horrible as well, yes i know, it is a tech school, but there are language/journalism/writing majors here too. I'd say about 10% or so of your teachers will be senile, %60 will have really thick accents or not speak fluent english, and 85% will just be horrible teachers in some unique wsy you didnt have the imagination to consider beforehand.

I have had several majors and the teachers in them weren't especially great either. I had a truly horrible american politics prof., business professors were usually full of S$ht, and art teachers were often immature--you had to be teacher's pet. I don't really recommend this school; overall, most of your friends will leave you during/after the first year (more than half the class does) and you will find yourself feeling stuck here. a small proportion of students do like the school.

For me, RIT was too large. I felt like I was no more than a number there. The classes were large and individual attention is nearly impossible with some. I do not feel that it is worth what you pay for it.

The Rochester Institute of Technology is an absolutely horrible institution. All of the teaching staff are very over-paid. The staff don’t care about the students, just about how much they can get paid. The tuition goes up 5-15% every year at the same time the education quality decreases by 25% each year. I grind my teeth every morning when I get to school and walk by all the gold trimmed SUVs with faculty parking passes on them. I then get really upset when I walk into one of the science or computer labs and have to work with broken, worn out, or completely outdated equipment. To summarize, if you’re a student looking for an education or a real college experience, STAY AWAY FROM RIT. If you’re looking for a job that gets you a huge paycheck and excellent benefits and requires no knowledge or skills, then apply at RIT. From what I’ve experienced, RIT will hire anyone. Are you a high school dropout? No problem, work for RIT’s campus safety. High School graduate? Be a professor starting at 85,000 a year. Perspective student? KEEP AWAY FROM RIT.
