Major: Computer Engineering (This Major's Salary over time)
Unfortunately, StudentsReview doesn't want responses to other students' reviews… so I guess I'll have to formulate my own.

I think that RIT is a great school. Yes, that isn't true of everyone that goes here, but after all, I came here for an education and I belive that I am receiving (and am almost done with) a great one.

My major is Computer Engineering—"advertised" as the second-hardest major at RIT. Nonetheless, this is strictly because of course work, and not because of Professor inexperience or whatnot. In the four years that I have spent here, just about every Computer Engineering professor that I have had has been great. Of course there are some that are better or worse than others but that happens everywhere.

For those people that are thinking of attending RIT to party every night—don't come here. Yes, there *is* a social life to be had, but it involves going out and getting one. I am from New York City—arguably the city with the best social life in the world—so if I'm doing alright in Rochester, it can't be all that bad. The city and its' suburbs are over a million people, and Buffalo and Syracuse (more fairly big cities) are driving distance away.

The two "complaints" that I have about RIT are parking and housing—two of the biggest complaints I hear. To address them:

Housing - Yeah, RIT doesn't have enough housing for everyone. Quite honestly, I think they do a pretty good job getting housing for all the freshmen. The fact is, though, that in most places in the US, people need a car anyway… so get a car and move off-campus—you'll find it better anyway. And no, its not difficult to get an apartment as a college student—there are four major colleges in this city… apartment complexes are used to renting to students.

Parking - OK, so if you don't get to class at 8:00AM, you can't park within 5 minutes of the building—so what? There *is* ample parking to leave your car on campus, which is *a lot* better than a lot of other colleges I've seen. A lot of other colleges, you have to pay just to park your car on campus at all. At RIT, parking is free, and you can pay to park closer.

commentThe Rochester Institute of technology is now offering computer engineering for there students too. And I am so glad to know about this news. And also you can get ukwritings review to get great ideas to write yoru task easily. Because my younger brother loves to do computer engineering. And for that, he must take his admission in it.
