Like everyone has said, RIT has it's ups and downs. I am a film major and I have to say that the people I have met here are some of the most bright, interesting, intelligent, passionate people I've ever known. The teachers are generally knowledgable and try to help you out as much as they can. Nothing can be done about the weather…but when its sunny in Rochester (it does happen) it's really amazing. There's so much to do - the indie movie theater downtown, the Geva theater, the Rochester Philharmonic, SPOT coffee and Java's to hang out at…really cool restaurants and bars all around as well. Sure the dorms suck, but after your first year everything changes. Don't like the dry campus rule? Quit yer whining and get an apartment off campus where you can drink yourself into a stupor every damn night of the week. RIT has plenty of diversity, and it's ridiculous that people are complaining about the number of homosexuals on campus. I have never had a problem with that; learn to live with other people and the way they are. Apart from all the campus stuff I think RIT can be a great education, but a lot of it depends on how much you are willing to put in yourself. Nobody is going to lead you by the hand here, but that better suits you for the real world.
