I have been here for 6 years now after getting my BS in Biochem and now my MS. Most staff in Science is helpful, but some are partial to their own major, as one might expect. If you want to do research, my advice is that you really get to know your Prof. Are they going to kick you out after two years no matter what or help you along the way or even keep adding work well after the two years?

I really love RIT. I know that's a little rare to hear people say, but I do. It suits what I wanted from a college quite well. The focus is on learning, less on partying. There is a wealth of help available from the Institute, but you need to ask to get it. They don't mollycoddle students. Similarly, the city of Rochester takes some getting used to, but there is a lot of neat stuff to find if you take the time to explore it.

RIT's intent is to break you down. I went there as an undergrad and now as a grad student. Why did I go back? Because I am determined to prove those prof. who said I wouldn't make it wrong! Now I am 90% through my Master's. The classes are insanely tough, professors are concerned about their paycheck, as is the administration.

However, employeers sure do like to see RIT on your resume. Surviving RIT makes you a valuable resource in the work world.

Faculty is very supportive and commited. Research is handson and very interesting. Manufacturing Engineering and Systems is basically good there.
