Statistical Analyzer:

I have been at RPI for 3 years now studying Computer Engineering and Computer Science. How I ended up at RPI is still a bit of a mystery, but despite the high tuition, financial aid is definitely available.

Students at RPI are a mixed bag, but there is always a group that you will fit into. The fraternity and Sorority life can be a plus if you find one that you fit in to. Otherwise, and apartment with friends is always a good option. Dorm life is mandatory freshman year, but it will ensure that you meet lots of people and eventually find a good group of comrades.

Academically speaking, RPI is the cream of the crop. You will learn everything you will ever need to know about your field (whether you want to or not) and learn to apply it in any situation. Some students feel that it may be too much theory, not enough practice, but there are many classes only focus on projects and even work for outside companies (such as IBM, GE, Lockheed Martin, etc). Also, internships and Co-Ops are plentiful if you know where to look (the career fair is always a great place to start, just be open-minded). These will ensure that you get a chance to meet a prospective employer, gain valuable experience, and make getting hired MUCH easier.

Troy, NY is one of the iffy points for many students. However, recently the city has been cleaning up and lots of cool businesses are moving in downtown. A variety of ethnic food (Mexican, Indian, Thai, Chinese, etc) are within walking distance of campus (though a car is always nicer). There are several bars and hangouts downtown that tend to cater mostly to the surrounding colleges. If you can get a car, the capital region becomes very accesible. Between Albany and Saratoga, there is always something to do.

Sportswise, RPI supports everything from Div-I Hockey to Intercollege tennis. Club sports include ping pong, bowling, skiing, and everything in between. Intramural sports are also a great way to meet people and have a great time during the semester.

All-in-all, RPI is a great school with a great history. Social life may not be as intense as other schools, but you can always find something fun.
