pretty much what everyone said here is true. rit is a very unusual place. it messes with your mind on so many levels i can't even begin to describe it. i'll have to write a book when i'm out of here. after a few months of being here, i felt beaten down emotionally and spiritually. after 5 years of this place, i feel pretty much the same. you never get used to it. this has got to be one of the most depressing and twisted place on the face of the planet. Aside from all the homosexuality and exrtreme socialism pushed down your throat every day, all the "deaf superiority" complexes held by some kids, etc etc, this place just breaks your spirit. one of my friends got into drugs and became a satanist, running away to live in a trailer in the mountains of Pennsylvania with a male and female lover. while most of us don't go that far, we usually become so extremely depressed and irritable because of the weather and… OK FINE. the girls. the ratio is about 8 desperate, horny, toolbox guys to 1 fat deaf girl with a goatee. i kid you not. i've been to RIT parties where girls will do several guys in one day and think nothing of it. it's disgusting and immoral and it sickens me to no end. nobody seems to mind or care. i will say, though, most of the guys here have given up or never tried in the first place. THIS SCHOOL EVEN HAS ITS OWN RAP SONG about how #*$)ed up it is!!

I cannot wait for this spring. I am going to get my own place in a quiet neighborhood and just read books and write memoirs for a year. Then i'll try to readjust to the real world.

On a positive note, the administration is full of pretty sharp people. While even they have their required Safe Zone (means they have to give gay/les/bi/transgendered kids special treatment), most of them are on the ball. i was involved in a business project in the business dept. and got to know a lot of the head administration really well and realized that most of them actually care about the students and what we think. they're actually trying hard as of late to ask us what we think. it may take a while for kids to catch on that all they have to do is speak up and they'll be heard.
