I transferred to Rochester Institute of Technology after finishing a couple of years from the University of Hawaii. Yes, the two campuses were very different in terms of the weather and demographics. Academically, I love RIT and I am glad that I went to that school. Upon graduation, I took fond memories and career-oriented skills with me.

I learned to be an independent learner, taking charge of my own education and direction in life, while I was a student at RIT and living in Rochester NY. In the midst of all the complainers and lazy students at RIT, I did not let their negativity bother me. They tend to be bitter because of the cold winters and lack of motivation.

RIT is a tough school and it trains you for real-life situation. If you do not do an internship (which for some majors is a requirement, but it was not for me), you will not learn about potential career paths (and what to avoid). I did several internships as a student and gained a lot of valuable insights. RIT encourages students to participate in internships and co-op, which attracted me to the school.

RIT is face-paced, which is quite different from what I was used to in Hawaii. But I wanted a faster pace of life, which I got in RIT. I got to meet wondeful people and lifelong friends. I was able to also travel through various parts of the country because of friends, internship opportunities, and scientific conferences: Niagara Falls, Toronto, New York City, Charlottesville VA, Boston, San Diego, Washington DC, New Orlearns, Seattle, North Carolina, Georgia, Kentucky, and other places. I got to go to many of these places for a reduce price because of traveling with friends and acquiring travel funds to attend conferences. If you work hard, you can play hard as well.

I love the RIT fieldhouse. The gym is awesome! I love the sauna and jacuzzi too. Those are the things that kept me very warm in the winter.

If you are a go-getter, an over-achiever, very motivated, and you know what you want out of life, then RIT would be the thing for you. If you don't know what you want, you won't succeed at RIT. I think that RIT is mostly tailored for those who have a good idea of what they want to do or is at least motivated to explore around. I think I was able to take advantage of what the school has to offered.

Some of the students at RIT are sometimes anti-social and uniquely eccentric. The dorks or geeks of high school strive in here. I was a dork in high school and I felt comfortable and at home at RIT. I got to meet people like me there with the same passion that I have for science and technology. There are social activities to do here on campus, but some students don't take advantage of it though. I hate how some students complain that there's nothing to do there when there were stuff to do on campus. Some would just stay in their apartment or dorm room and play on the computer when they could have been meeting people and hanging out. RIT sometimes attract some loners and some anti-social people and I just hope some were able to find people they can relate to just as I have.

I miss the computers and internet connection at RIT. You get hook on the high speed and the amazing computers there. When you leave the campus and go home, all other internet connections icluding cable is just too slow. You get so spoiled in the quality of technology in school.

I like the RIT Library and the coffee shop in it too. It's a cool hang out place and to study late in the evening. The art students are cool and balances all the techies.
