Rochester Institute of Technology Reviews

"Being a student at RIT, makes me very excited for my future. The boost of confidence that my teachers give to me, makes me motivated to be successful in the future."

"Tuition increased 4% in last year There were a few internet blackouts during update seasons but they were quickly fixed Technical students are already pack based with a clique mentality Otherwise everything was perfect teachers were challenging and attentive Security were easy to contact Tiger-Roar Day Imagine RIT -Cutivated Culture Not to far from Gates, or the city of Rochester"

"RIT helps you to find your latent talents and encourages you to see the world from a different angle.This is my experience and I always remember and cherish the memory of RIT"

"The program is very insightful and exposes students to a wide range of possibilities. The major challenging factor is the expenses, the fees are on the very high side."

"The course work in the computer science program at RIT is rigorous. Hard work and dedication is required to sail through. It prepares you for taking any kind of difficult task you will face in the industry. The co-op at RIT is something that gives the student the taste of practical implementation of theory. The courses make sure that the basics of the student becomes much more concrete and clear. As for cons, not much research going that students can be part of."

"RIT is an institution known for its undergraduate programs, especially in the engineering field. However, they have recently stepped up their graduate programs and hope to compete with top tier research schools in the near future. At this point, a graduate degree from RIT, while good, is not as valuable as a degree from other institutes. However, the faculty and student outreach is phenomenal and the skills and lessons learned here are definitely worth the time spent."

"Academic program was very competitive, at least the quarter system made it so. Network, labs, coursework is very good. However the best part is if you want a shot at best jobs in the country like Apple,Google, Microsoft, Cisco et al. RIT is your place. The number of courses with bridge courses make it a little tedious but at the end of the day you will be glad that you came to RIT. Coz it is all worth the effort. You come here ordinary but when you leave this place, you leave like a champion coder."

"PRO: academic supports from professors CON: it is in the rural-suburban area."

"RIT's graduate program is excellent, no matter what field you're going into. They have amazing faculty that really know what they're doing because they're experts in that specific field. The facilities at RIT are impeccable and they always provide the best for students so that we really know the material we'll be working with in the real world. It is such an accepting and diverse campus with international students sitting with local students sitting with deaf and hard of hearing students all involved in their own thing on campus. Also, there is so much to do on campus as well that even if you're a commuter, you feel welcome because of all the programs and events we offer at all times all over campus. Transportation and parking are a bit lackluster, but it's hard to get around the fact we're built on a swamp. Career support is a bit like "here's everything now have fun searching" and isn't really one on one, but the site is easy to navigate and staff is always ready to help if you know where to ask for it."

"I believe the greates pro is the one on one attention you receive."

"I believe the main pro of my graduate school is the one on one attention."

"Tell us about your college experience.It was a good program but some of the staff thought very highly of themselves and made life hard on specific students just trying to get through the program. It made me unhappy and I did not want the job I went to school for when I first finished graduating.Would you get the same degree if you could start over?Yes because I love my job. I would probably be more assertive in what classes I took and whom I had as advisor.What advice can you offer other students?Know who the good advisors are. Take less adjunct professor classes and more permanent professors' classes."

"RIT is an extremely competitive and quality school with a great focus on career applications and job placement. They also provide job search and career resources to their alumni. The tuition is expensive and the cost is very high if you live on campus. Financial aid is great for undergraduate students, but not for graduate students. They will do well to get you loans and you will usually get a stipend from your individual graduate program, but it's difficult to get grants through the financial aid office."

"RIT is known for having a great placement percentage and has a career fair just for packaging science. They cater to this specific degree major very well."

"An MS in entrepreneurship will help understand the technical and business aspects of starting a business and making it profitable."

"The Rochester Institute of Technology does an excellent job assisting students with obtaining jobs and internships in their academic fields. This is actually the reason that I chose this school. Their staff and co-op program is spectacular with setting students up with employers. I don't have many negative comments about this University. Overall it is pretty great."

"I am convinced that the graduate program of RIT is very practical and advanced. Particularly, Facility Management program of RIT has the potentiality for the relevant sectors in the future."

"Expensive. Only students with a GMAT score above 600 are eligible for financial aid."

"My graduate program Packaging Science is only offered by a few university. RIT is one of them. I feel the pros are the unique opportunity for the program, smaller size of classroom, diversity on campus and reputation of the university. At RIT, I could learn how to work with students that are different from my background. I can't really think of any cons."
