Caroline Weiss Student at This School - Grad Year 2013
RIT is a great university. There is a heavy academic focus here, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t find a good time. There are always events being put on by the Campus Activities Board and there are frequently free BBQs and spaghetti dinners. Hockey is the most popular sport here and games are really inexpensive and fun to attend. If you are looking for a great college experience and a wonderful education, but don’t mind the cold, than RIT is the place for you!
Diane Roberts Parent of Student
Access to faculty, small classes & the ability to explore other courses. Scholarships are a plus!
