I would not go to this college until after they switch over to the semester system(scheduled for the start of the 2012-2013 year) I would even wait a year or two so they can get the kinks out of the new system.

Otherwise, this college overall has been great for me. I will say that my first 2 years at RIT were fairly painful because I had a hard time building my social circle. RIT is not a place you go to if the social life is your main priority but for a tech school it has a fairly strong and friendly feel to it; you just need to look in the right spots. RIT is a dry campus so you wont find any parties in the dorms but you can easily find them in the on campus apartments. There is a large number of clubs on campus and all of the ones I have participated in were/are amazing. Even with a large number of activities there are unfortunately a small percentage of students who are active in some of the clubs and sports but with around 14,000 students there are plenty of great people to meet and hang out with. Most of my fellow CS majors hide away in their "caves" in the dorms and will probably never talk to you so if you want to meet people you have to leave your Dorm and meet people at other places.

The co-op program for this school is amazing and will definitely help you find a job when you graduate.
