Major: Other (This Major's Salary over time)
My Major, to my knowledge Exists only at RPI, it is our lovely "Electronic Media Arts and Comunications" Major, which may be similar to other schools E-Arts Majors, but takes it WAY beyond that, especialy in the areas of technichal prowes and programing abilities. Plus we get exposed to much higher grade Tech than an E-Arts Major at some other school would be, since it's a Tech Minded School. Figured I'd mention that since I answered "Other" to my Major. Also, that means my answers abotu Professors are not indicitve of the overall population of Proffesors… Havign been a Bio Major my Freshman year, I know they're alot more stuck up over there than in the Art Department. I would expect that of hard-core Scientists though. Really the Art Department Proffesors are Incredibly Cool. Strange too, yes, but That's to be expected of Artists.

RPI's Social Scean… isn't so hot… but that's mostly because the kind of people that come here, don't require much in the area of crazy parties… they'd rather have a LAN party and play Counterstrike or something. That's not to say there aren't ANY crazy Parties… but, that's pretty much just the Frat Parties. Course at RPI you don't actualy have to be IN the Frat or Sororoty to go to the Party… since there's nothing else to do anyhow, unless you are cool with just haning out with 3 or 4 other people in somones room watching TV and eating snacks and Drinking Beer (Which they let you have in the Upperclass dorms if you're over 21.)

I'm only involved in one Club myself, The Theater Company (the RPI Players,) and that's a total blast. I love it to bits… wish I'd joined as a Freshman. It takes up alot of time if you get a big part, but it's worth it, and the Techies are the best Techies your find anywhere… you should see our Fly System. I can't work it myself… I'm not a Techie, but I'm told it's the best anyplace.
