Ok, I will be the first to admit that RIT has its problems. But most of the complaints I have heard come from people who are either never satisfied, or think college is that thing that you see in movies chock full of sex, booze, and being stupid, with a class or two slid in during periods of sobriety. I think RIT is a great place for people who want to work hard, get a good education, and be exposed to a variety of things. I was a graphic design major, and I thought it was fantastic that I could take a ton of different liberal arts courses, as well as fun courses like "wines of the world", or join just about any type of club known to man. I also loved the variety of people- I have art friends, computer friends, engineering friends, and more. There are problems with lack of school spirit and social life, but if you have the will to get yourself off campus and look for fun, there is tons to be found in Rochester. Great coffee shops, indie and mainstream films, museums, sports teams, a good selection of concert venues, and an amazing selection of bars and restaurants. Plus, Buffalo, Syracuse, Niagara Falls, and Toronto are all within a 3 hr drive!

For those people who think RIT is a bad place to go I say good riddance. If you are looking for a party school where you will get to only socialize and drink, save your money and head for the closest state school. And for those people who commplain about the homosexuality on campus- well you just proved you are too ignorant to be at a place like RIT. Good riddance to you too.
