if you are planning on attending rit i would advice you to read the following.

1. rit is a TECH school. if you want to be surrounded by kids who spend the majority of there time playing WOW, video games, or coding, you will be set. seriously. but if you are looking for the "college" experience, i would maybe consider going elsewhere.

2. rit is a dry campus. they do take this seriously. this also means that the majority of parties in on campus apartments are shut down by 11pm. oh yeah, and at these parties, don't expect to see more than 3 girls.

3. LADIES. don't get too excited by the 30:70 girl:guy ratio just yet. you will become familiar with the saying,

the odds are good, but the goods are odd

once you eliminate the guys who don't leave there room or the labs, then the ratio is basically equal.

4. the weather is rochester really isnt that bad. as long as you have a heavy jacket, you will be fine. on campus the wind tunnels are terrible because of the campus' layout, but the roads in rochester are always clear (aka classes are never cancelled). plus theres a skii lodge just 45 minutes away and rit's hockey team kicks ass.

5. 10% of rit students, a good percentage of the faculty, is deaf. do yourself a favor and research the deaf culture before you come to the campus.

6. besides gracie's, the food isn't bad. too bad for freshman, you will be stuck going to gracie's for at least 2/3 of your meals.

7. if you plan on leaving campus for whatever reason, don't expect to rely on the bus system.

8. almost every person you meet will either be an engineering or photography major.
