There are a lot of bitter people at RIT, and the reviews on this site reflect that. Here's my take:

Academically, RIT is very good. There are better schools in all of the majors, but for the money it is an incredible value to CS, engineering, photography, or deaf students. Classes can be tough, but for the most part I have found that you can do well if you just do the work assigned to you. Many people don't do homework (some teachers opt not to collect it), then complain when they fail a test.

Socially, things here are not NEARLY as bad as they have been made out to be. I have been to several parties, and have not had any difficulty finding them, despite this being a "dry campus" (not enforced in the least…). Even if you aren't into that, there are things to do, provided that you leave your room and find them. I've had lots of fun at on- and off-campus concerts, and Rochester has those "tourist-y" things like museums and historical sites to take your parents to when they come. Even as a floor, we have all sorts of special events in my building. Granted, I am in Honors housing right now, but a good RA will make life much more enjoyable.

Otherwise, there are some good things and some bad. Bricks are everywhere, but honestly I don't mind. I even think they look good! The wind tunnel effect can be quite amazing, but that is more a product of geography than architecture. It is cold and windy here - that's the truth of the matter. We do have lots of tunnels for movement during the winter, but going to class can be fun.

Overall, this is a good school to study one of the aforementioned majors. For other majors, I have no idea how the program compares. Those who hate it here do so for one of two reasons:

1. They play Counter-Strike in their room all day with the door shut, then complain that the social life here sucks, or…

2. They expect college to be nothing but a 24/7 party. Go to U. of Colorado then…

Sorry, but it isn't either. College is what you make it to be, and I'm having a good time here.
