I attended this school because of the great photography program it offered. I left after the first quarter of my first year. The main reasons for this are the following: One, this school was way too expensive and I couldn't afford it. Two, I hated the fact that this school runs on a quarter system because this just makes your classes twice as hard. Three, I have to say being a female, I didn't appreciate getting hit on by all of the desperate guys here at this school. I know it's expected when there are thousands more guys than girls but if your a female I suggest not coming here unless you want to get stalkers. Fourth, I hated the weather. It gets so cold here and the location is really boring. Well, I know some students like it here but this is just my opinion. I'm now at a different college and like it so much better than RIT.

What school did you switch to? I am looking for a school for my daughter who wants to be a photographer. I grew up in Rochester and my boyfriend went to RIT(35 years ago!). Everything you said about the weather and social life is still so true…

RIT weeds out the week. This is not an easy school. You don't show up to class and magically get an A. Go ahead and google famous RIT Alumni, I bet you'll be surprised to see who went here.
