Just a couple of points, I keep reading about the quality of education at RIT. The quantity of the work is inarguably heavy, but the quality is abysmal. It's a lot of work that takes very little talent to do. There is no emphasis on originality or innovation. The coursework is stripped of much of the conceptual framework, and is simply procedural.

Make no mistake about RIT : the emphasis is on technical training, not education. A spokesman from motorola came to give a talk when i was an engineering major. He said he was glad RIT was graduating students who "provide technical manpower" rather than doing "just basic research."

Translation : RIT graduates aren't capable of innovation.

And don't think technical training will make you successful.

If you're not creative, aggressive, and an effective communicator, you are going to be stuck at the bottom of the corporate heap your entire life.

Comments from RIT's own faculty to me, when i was a student :

The difficulty of work here … this is really just all phys. ed.
The faculty don't think much of the students here …

Also, RIT's reputation falls to almost nil 200 miles outside of rochester. I live in boston, and it's virtually unheard of. A classmate of mine had a 4.0 in mathematics, along with stellar test scores and other accolades. He was turned down by RPI for graduate school. RIT's reputation did not match this boy's talent, and he paid the price.

I would encourage any student considering RIT to look at

RPI and WPI instead. If you don't get accepted, you may be better off going to some local college to do some "core" work for a year or two, accumulating credits and laying down good grades (and saving money.)

But steer clear of RIT. It's the DeVry of 4 year universities.
