RIT is not for everyone. Unfortunately, the school that is portrayed on their website, and even during tours, is completely different from the school that you actually attend. I find myself bored in classes, and even in the classes where the material is new, the teachers basically leave you to learn it on your own. Very often the equipment is not up to the standards required for a particular lab. Personally, if you know something about your major, you will be bored, because you are forced to take mundane classes and the professors don't care what you know. On the other hand, if you don't know much about your major, you will either be fascinated by what you learn, or completely lost because the professors are unclear. Overall I would say that I am very disappointed at my choice of school. It was nothing like I thought it was going to be, and even my major isn't what I thought it was going to be.
