This school was absolutely horrible. I transferred in from a liberal arts school as I wanted more practical experience. I was sold on the co-op program and other "merits" of RIT. From day one, I felt as if I had to turn in my personality and individual sense of importance. I was treated as an inmate on work release. The campus, faculty and administration spends an inordinate amount of time ensuring that they are paid every last dollar. I had to negotiate at the student aid office EVERY semester for dollars that I had been promised at the beginning. In addition, the cost of this school is way too high to justify the quality of education, instruction or motivation that I received. (By the way, I am now reasonably successful with a six figure income that RIT had NOTHING to do with). RIT is full of continuing education students each of them from Kodak, Xerox, Bausch and Lomb and the likes. As these students are from corporations giving dollars to RIT, RIT caters its education to these corporations. I received a corporate cookie cutter education geared to helping me rise to the middle of corporations like these. I can't urge people enough to not spend their money at RIT and instead attend a State school and use the money you save to launch a business or attend an excellent graduate school.
