First off, don't come to this university if you cannot handle reasonable pressure. Secondly, disregard every comment here that speaks of non-existent social life - yes, quite a few people at RIT are nerds, but that doesn't mean they can't party. Apparently some of them really can't party, or play too much WoW, hence all these negative comments.

To be honest, RIT does not have a beautiful campus. Most people dislike the fact that there are so many bricks. The education, however, is decent - it's not going to blow your mind, it's easy enough to get A grades, and you don't learn much in freshman year.

Also disregard comments about there being

not enough single females
If you aren't a whiny introvert, you know that it's really easy both to find single girls and to get girls with boyfriends to break up (risky, though).

My advice would be to take it easy, handle coursework with care, and find a good bunch of friends right off the bat. Too many people here hit the road running and trip over little things like skipping classes, there are other nuances to college life but I'm sure you'll find those out yourself.
