Major: Unknown (This Major's Salary over time)
I am a physics major and active student at RPI. I believe that I'm getting an extremely high quality education but I am dissatisfied with RPI as a whole. Our president makes $1.3mil per year and yet we laid off essential staff recently including a major advocate and chief organizer of our huge Greek system. There is no social life whatsoever and Troy is an unsafe city. My residence was broken into twice this semester alone and the school has not offered us a single bit of support. Another student was stabbed in the chest in his car near the campus recently. While I am learning a lot, I highly suggest not going to this school.
