ITS REALLY REALLY COLD HERE AND WINDY TILL LATE APRIL
RIT is not as bad as i make it sound but it really has a lot of very sheltered nerdy kids and sometimes that is good and sometimes that is bad. I wish the school was in downtown Rochester like it was before the '60. If you like having small groups of friend that don't do much but hang out and watch anime then RIT is the place to be. But seriously there are interesting people to meet you just have to go out of your way to find them.
FUCK RIT. I started applying for transfer after my 1st quarter. It's THAT bad.
rit sucks.
Put a big nice bar right on campus. Eliminate reserved parking.
A good school, I'm not sure sometimes if it was worth all the money. Probably cause i'm having to pay it back now, but I had a really good time and met some awesome people. The nice thing about being in an art school that is part of a tech school is that you can have some less artsy friends which I liked having since I'm kinda a closet math nerd. Oh and the weather kinda blows, but it was never as bad as my freshman year. So it kinda got better every year and was pleasant in that aspect.
I enjoyed my time here. Actually wish I wasn't graduating so soon.
Stop all of your certain proposition/ Things can change on the drop of a dime within this World of continuation/ Forecastin' is very difficult so is speculation/ Not feeling this garbage war crap PERIOD/ Bring the troops home? How about not using them at all it seems stupid/ I mean when you think of it/ Using troops and marines and such can exemplify paranoia that's expected/ We cave in to pressures way too much and can't ignore violence/ Not feeling it I say as I get into my zone of silence/ I hate it why can't more people be revolutionist/ Sometimes I feel like I'm alone speaking my own storm my own tempest/ "Stating" my pride Mussolini style almost "fascist"/ Am I biased?/ Hell yeah and you know it/ This ordinary crap I'm not feeling it it's too chronic and contagious/ Too many fall for the simplicity of sports and submit ideas that are basic/ I'm not feeling it/ Call this anger/ Call it passion or call it a fever/ Call it pressure/ Call it me being fed up with the present and the future/ I get like this because my victories are whisping silently like a whisper/ Not feeling the popular/ It's my time for adventure/ No need to censor/ Adhere to pressure/ It's passing mind power/
RIT is a great place. Always something going on whether it be concert or comedian on campus...or a movie on Sunday nights. Sporting events are very fun. We are building a new "College Town" with bars, restaurants, apartments, and barnes and nobles. It is like a Mall area on campus. We already have a ESPN sportszone on Campus. We have 8-9 places to eat on campus as well.
The RIT experience is definitely not the typical college experience. Most people come here with one goal in mind, to get a high paying job as soon as they graduate. Most of the people you will meet here are focused and studious, but this is not to say that they don't like to have a good time. It's not a huge party school, but there are still parties around if you look for them. There isn't a whole lot of outward school spirit here but I bet if you ask any random student they would say that they are proud to be going here because of the great reputation the school has.
the housing operations staff are horrible dumb rude people. the new apartments that are being built should be through rit and should be cheaper then $800 per room per month. and they should have tunnels underneath buildings on the academic side especially between the hockey rink and the field house.
RIT is a good school, but I'm transferring to Cornell in the fall.
RIT is not a sports focused school. Our football has been undefeated since 1978 which is a great accomplishment (since the program was canceled in '78). Our Hockey team has recently gone division one and is doing extrememyl well.
The girl to guy ratio take s a while to get used to. It can get really creepy if you're a girl, but sometimes I think we get spoiled. There's random encounters where you have no idea what the guy was thinking, but then at parties girls might get a lot of attention just by default. and p.s. academically it's a lot of work no matter what
If there are any law enforcement officials reading this, I don't actually ingest, nor encourage the ingestion of, alcoholic beverages. However, I felt that implying my frequent consumption of alcoholic beverages would portray a more appealing scholastic environment for high school students seeking a college that will be a good fit for them.
RIT has a bad rap for being a nerd school, but don't be afraid to give it a chance. While it's not as big of a party school as most states schools, once you find your niche and your friends, you always find something to do. The best advice I can give is to get involved - play a sport, join an organization, get a job. All of these will help you meet great people.
Okay, roughly a month before I came to school, I went through a large lifestyle change. I both came out to myself, family, and a few close friends. It was a large weight off my shoulders, and it also helped that everyone was fine with it... so far, but then that weight was replaced with another one, when another gay friend of mine had told me that because of him being gay he had already gone through two different roommates, before he even moved in. This FREAKED me out at what my future roomie might say or react horribly and I would end up alone and get charged a single rate. I was going to be over five hours away from home, without any friends or family for me to talk to or get to if something went negative with my future roomie. So I decided not to tell my roomie right away, I mean it had only been about a month, I was still getting used to it. Well, then cames move in day, we meet everything is going well, and move in day turns to days, days turn to weeks, and weeks turn to midterm. I was using this time to try to figure out how my roomie might react so there wasn't mass anger or fear when I told him, also I wanted him to realize that just because I was gay only changed was whom I was attracted to, and nothing else. So one day I asked him out of genuine interest, when he first found out I was his roommate, what kind of person did he expect, and what kind of stereotypes he had placed on me (just out of human nature) including those first few weeks we had lived together. Well one of the first stereotypes he had was based off my Facebook interests, Theater, so he said that he expected that I could be gay and he was fine with that, but that he didn't want to bring it up, as long as I wasn't hitting on him. So the conversation continues, and when it kind of dies down a little I took in a deep breath and tell him he wasn't wrong, and that I was, and am gay. So we talk about how it was all good, how this came to be, and if there were any taboo things he couldn't say or do, and if he had already done/said some already. But I just said "I would have said something already, I'm still me, gay or not". It all worked out and college how been a blast so far. I just really want to say (yes even after my three month story) that yes there are people here that or racists, homophobes, and stereotypists, but they're small and there are so many open arms that they're practically invisible.
The way that RIT gives special treatment to deaf students when it comes to class registration is ridiculous. They get to register a day ahead of their hearing classmates, and professors are required to hold some spots in their class for deaf students to register. They also gives special treatment to the Greek houses when it comes to the alcohol policy. The campus is a dry campus, so if anyone is caught with alcohol on campus, they are immediately punished. However, the Greek houses are allowed to have alcohol on their premises, despite having underage students in them. Why should they get special treatment? Students with learning or mental disabilities don't receive special treatment for registration, and students in the dorms are suspended from school if they're caught with alcohol.
In college there's three things: friends, grades, sleep. Pick two.
RIT is a good place for education, but social life you have to make for yourself (very hard task but possible). Dont buy books from campus connection!!! dont sell book back to them either. they cheat you in the biggest way. Ask upperclassmen, or go to popular websites for rit students lik bookmaid.com be ready to do a lot of work and quarter system is very challenging but YOU cAN do it!! lol. Make connections so you can learn all the "tricks" lol they really help. Get ya butt on grade my prof website b4 you put yourself in a class!!! jUST ask ask and ask. Oh yeah get invloved or you'll be bored as hellll!!!! Good luck 2 ya
RIT is known for its steep learning curve. With the quarter system students learn a great deal of information in a short period of time. RIT is constantly under construction, which is good and bad. Recent buildings include the Golisano Institute for Sustainability and a student commons know as Park Point. The construction is a bit annoying but the new areas of study hosted by these buildings are exciting. RIT's diversity really sets it apart as a unique university. Many projects with students from all around the world turn out successful. One such project is Black Cane Label, which is a company that sells clothing to the blind while informing the consumer of the articles specifications and what it might match with. This company was started by a local Rochester student and a Middle Eastern student. RIT is fast paced and very wired. However, the connectivity of the campus is due largely in part to the spirit of RIT students. They desire to reach out to the world and effect it in a positive way.
Just a bit of advice for students who are unsure of the college experience: it really is what you choose to make of it. Even if you don't choose to go to RIT, I firmly believe that everyone should try to aspire to graduate from a university. Join clubs and organizations, pick a major with something you're in love with, and make the most of what you're given and in the time you're given to complete your degree. It's life-changing, and I see more and more adults in their 40's and 50's coming back for their degrees and their masters because they didn't finish or want to earn that higher degree, to be that much more accomplished. College shouldn't be something that you constantly complain about - it should be a cherished four (on average) years that you will never experience anywhere else. Life holds plenty of opportunities for you to fulfill. To make the journey and never try, is not living a life at all.
RIT RULES AND EVERYONE SHOULD COME HERE..... TRUST ME YOU WILL GET REWARDED AFTERWARDS....MONEY MONEY MONEY.....
