RIT is bascially what you make of it. It is important to gravitate towards kids that have the same social interests as you do and party invites will come. There is a shortage of females but there is enough from friends visiting on weekends and networking out to friends friends.Hockey games are the best.

People planning to attend RIT must have a college mindset. Coming to college its not about attending parties and getting drunk, it's about getting a solid undergraduate education. If one wants to party and drink beer all day, they be better off in a party state school. In RIT , professors want to get the best out of you and at times you will be challenged, and that is what college education is all about. People who want to attend this school should be prepared to work hard and trust me , the results will pay off as most graduates land great jobs and some have move on to graduate studies in ivy leagues. The school is really diverse and the people are really friendly. There are so many resources available and one must really take full advantage of these resources in order to reap the full benefits of college education.

If you go to RIT, expect work, work, and more work. It's difficult and time consuming but its also rewarding, you make projects in your first quarter that gives you a sense of satisfaction. While others are learning what can be done, you take part in actually doing it. This school is to train you to be a reliable leader in any field of work and expect employers to realize that RIT establishes an experienced workforce before they even get their deploma.

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.
