"Getting a BFA in Graphic Design from RIT is the best choice I've made. I loved the program - although challenging and intense, it was extremely fulfilling to achieve a degree from here. It continues to pay off financially. I highly recommend this program at RIT."

"RIT is an excellent school to attend to pursue a graduate degree. Faculty excel in helping place their students in jobs applicable to their field of study. They focus on molding students who are excellent in their field and competitive in the job market. They do this by bringing companies, businesses, and organizations to the campus for job fairs and internship opportunities. RIT encourages students to work with students in other disciplines. They challenge students to work together on projects in order to develop cross-disciplinary knowledge. RIT emphasizes the importance of technology and its constantly changing nature. They do this by maintaining top of the line, up-to-date technology for its students in the classroom, laboratories, studio spaces, computer labs, and lounge areas. The blend of students and their interests on campus is exciting. Students are highly intelligent and social. Faculty and staff encourage a welcoming and down to earth attitude amongst its students. RIT has greatly built up its "college town" experience. There are many restaurants, cafes, stores, living quarters, and lounge areas for students. The location of RIT is not prime. Campus is in Henrietta, which is a 15 minute drive from the city of Rochester making it driving distance from activities outside of the RIT community."

"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."
