I do not know why others have been so harsh in rating this school. RIT does have quite a good reputation in fields other than Business like Computer Science and Engineering.

If the business students who posted on this site feel as though they were not challenged enough at RIT, they should have picked a different major. If they feel as though RIT has not prepared them to ``innovate'' then they are incorrectly placing their blame. Innovation requires personal talent; it cannot be taught in a course. If you want to innovate, do it! It's that simple.

This does not mean I totally enjoyed my experience at RIT. The workload was quite "heavy" which made life miserable at times. No question about it—RIT's undergraduate CS department is one of the best and most demanding departments in the nation. Their undergraduate program in CS is rigourous and comprehensive.

Your college experience is all what you make of it! Do you want to challenge yourself at RIT? You can! Take some hard courses. Don't be afraid to take difficult professors. If you tailor your course sequence so that you take the easy way out, you have no one to blame but yourself!

I am glad that RIT is not a research university. Most schools look at undergraduate programs as a way of paying the bills. RIT does not. If you are looking for respect from people by getting an undergraduate degree from Princeton or Harvard then you should reprioritize so that your learning experience comes first. You cannot judge a school's undergraduate program by its graduate program. If you come to RIT for CS (I cannot speak for other majors), you will get your money's worth. That is, of course, you do not avoid opportunities which present you with challenges.

When you get here, ask around. Ask upperclassmen who the best teachers are, and what are the best courses. You will find upperclassmen to be very responsive.
