The Rochester Institute of Technology

This university is great if you are not a white male...in fact the more of a minority you are the better off you are. For example a deaf, black/hispanic, girl will have no problem graduating and finding a high-paying job. RIT will clear the way for you, in fact they will shove out of the way the rest of us. Don't come here if you believe that everyone should have an equal opportunity.

I am a freshman here at RIT and just like everyone else here, I Hate it. I noticed that there were 10 reviews labeled bad by the reviewers at this web page and only one rated good. Welp now there are 11.

Supposedly college is the best time of ones life. Well not at RIT. Now i can only speak of the Computer Science Curriculum but, it is the worst designed system in the world. For example: if you don't electronically submit your code to a CS project at a certian time you fail the whole course. If you have one little bug in your code, or your output does not match theirs to the letter, you fail the course.

This seems more of a lesson in conformity than of one in Computer Science. Right now I can feel my creativity and imagination draining out of my life.

RIT's one purpose is to get money from your parents. Once you are in, they don't give a shit about you at all. You are documented by your social security number and thats it. They also screwed me by not accepting my AP credits. I got a 4 on AP Calculus, a 4 on AP Statistics, a 4 on AP Comp Sci A, and a 5 on AP Comp Sci AB. Yet here I am, learning everything I already know at a much slower pace.It makes me want to drop college totally. But I want that little piece of paper that costs 125,000 dollars.

The campus is fucking ugly. You would think that it doesnt affect you much, but seeing bricks all the time is annoying as hell. Plus the stupid designers that made the school created a wind tunnel to keep us even cooler in those 15 degree windy days.

Finally there is very little social Life. Having a dry campus accomplishes nothing. RIT student life tries to create new ways to entertain us, yet they all end up RITarted and boring.

I wish I had known of this webpage when i was ooking for colleges because i would never have come here.

to here me rant more..... got to my anti-RIT pagehttp://ritsux.freewebspace.com/index.html

Perceived Campus Safety: B+, Education Quality: F

I feel as if I missed out on a big part of my life. I expected college to be fun, while at the same time be able to sit back and learn.

Instead I graduated from a school in which it seemed like a struggle to deal with administration who dont want to listen to students. What little sense of community RIT had during my freshman year, was torn apart by the alcohol policy, and other senseless policies as keeping the freshmen completely seperated from upperclassmen.

RIT, I finished all of your classes, paid all of your parking fines, dealt with your administration, helped other students pass their classes, gave you over $100,000, and you have the nerve to charge me for commencement invitations for my family? In other words my high school friends who are thinking of going to RIT, take a second look, and don't be scammed by the salespeople who tell you RIT is a great place to be.
