Major: Biology (This Major's Salary over time)
I'm in my second year at RIT and I recently switched my program from biomedical engineering to biology. I found that the curriculum for biomedical engineering wasn't really what I was interested in. A lot of math and physics, and the sciences were engineered based. It just wasn't working for me. I like my classes better in my new program but they are still hard. It has also been hard trying to make the transition. Because of the quarter system, I had to start in the middle of a sequence rather than from the beginning. Next year that shouldn't be an issue though since we're switching to semesters. I have had a very difficult time here academically. But I am at fault in this situation, not just RIT. Sure, some professors are not good teachers and the assigned work doesn't always help you understand or prepare for exams. But I've generally found that there are a lot of professors willing to help you individually if you ask, and there are lots of places on campus to go when you need help. It's just what are you willing to do to help yourself.
