Very good, challenging design program. Co-op not really that good in design,which is why it wasn't required for graduation. RIT has only two problems for girls:

1.Cold weather: We girls get cold easier than the guys. I love the cold,but it was even too cold for me. People said that it gets frigid here,but I really didn't understand that till I got here. Brrrrr.

2. Lack of on campus appartments: There are only a few appartments "near" the academic buildings. For many other appartments, you need a bus to get to the academic buildings. You would think that with the 1300 or so acres owned by RIT they would build appartments within easy walking distance to classrooms,but sadly this isn't the case.

However, academics were very good especially in art and design. Also having almos two guys for each girl isn't bad if you are a girl. However, even with that, deign students don't generally meet a lot of folks from other majors due to our time commitments in design. There is a LOT of work in design. Unlike high school where you are given plenty of time to finish projects ( mostly), here you work late finishing projects and get up early for class. Forget about the days of sleeping long hours except on weekends.
