Occupational daydreamsr 8/4/2023

Please don’t go here. It’s a waste of money. Many of the professors don’t know what they’re doing - don’t know how to make learning materials or how to answer questions. They don’t accommodate their autistic students properly. They won’t help you find a job. This place is horrible. Worst mistake of my life.

I didn’t expect to enjoy my time as much as I did at RIT. The school is incredible in every area like academia, social life, and especially the co-op system. I wouldn’t be where I’m at today if it wasn’t for my paid internships which propelled me into my career.
