I took a visit there today to learn more about the school and what it has to offer. To say I was impressed is an understatement. The whole place is built to an architectural and engineering perfection. It is apparent that much sweat, heart, and soul went into this place. I commend them for producing some of the finest minds you could find anywhere. Piqued interest has mine. Alas. I am a poor man of modest means. But I feel I learned so much today. The core fundamentals. The Creed. The motto. The way of doing things. I feel like I already gained a degree in something. Aye, mayhaps with some hard work and dedication I too can walk those glorious halls. Though I often ask myself. After all that added effort. Would this merely be effort wasted? better spent elsewhere? Perhaps. Either way. Good luck to all of you wonderful people. May your studies go well . Exams easy. And notes well taken and reviewed the evening prior and morning of for many days to come. Farewell.

Great food great service. Something happened that I never had happened before . the chef came out and said that he probably made the hamburger too well done and that he was already cooking another one. If only everyone had that kind of integrity on their job. He realized his mistake and fixed it before anyone even complained. If only are politicians were like that.

An amazing place with lots of greenery.

Short visit here to help my daughter pack her belongings and clean out her dorm room. Very nice campus. Exterior clean and well manicured. Ample parking. I was not able to tour the campus due to covid restrictions. Hopefully Ill be able to see more when we return in August.

Absolutely beautiful campus! Over the weekend, we went for an Open House. The entire presentation was very nicely put together. Everyone we talked to had a genuine love for the school. Students were helpful wherever you walked. Can’t wait to go back!

Beautiful and lush green campus. The sports training facilities are pure classy. The university shuttles have great connectivity to nearby markets. The library has some of the best collection of books, journals, magazines and very comfortable seating on a the floors. On campus dining offer great food with frequent visits by outside chefs offering Indian, Japanese, Columbian food items.

Just graduated today! Thank you RIT for allowing us to come back!

The amount of positive energy in that place is unbelievable. Those kids are going to do great things 🐅

Great school for all major interests. This school also offers great education to Art majors as well (glass, jewelry, ceramics, Industrial Design, etc). I really enjoyed attending art exhibit shows and demonstrations in this school :)Also, the school hosts Imagine RIT each year which cannot be missed.

Great campus, smart students and even smarter s lectures; It was a pleasure to deliver a guest lecture to this smart new generation

Visited my Friend who works there as a Boss Of the RAs. Clean and neat grounds, with his apparently being very roomy.

Very nice campus visit. Or guide Noah one a lot about the school and degrees offered.

Great college to study MS.Professors are highly experienced and practical study is provided.

Beautiful campus and co-op program a hugh plus.

Exciting atmosphere as there were activities for new & returning students!

Beautiful campus, great education and very friendly, happy people.

Layout not too convenient. Difficulty borrowing cart and loading and unloading. Free and easy parking without permit.

Good school, trash campus food :(((

Best college for Game Development related degrees.

A very clean beautiful campus.

Snowy and well maintained. Still impressive on a cloudy winter day. Excellent examples of cool industrial design throughout the campus. Great sculptures, too.

Just picked up my son to bring him home for the holidays. As a parent, I couldnt ask for a school to do a better job of keeping my kid as safe from COVID as possible. My son had a great first semester. Wonderful school.

An amazingly welcoming place with great people who care

Great atmosphere and experiences here

Great moving in day for incoming freshman!!!

It snows to much, and they cancelled my graduation, and want me to pay for the recordings

The #1 school for the Deaf NTID @ RIT

I really regret not being able to attend here when I got accepted in 2013. When I toured, there was so much that this University had to offer. LGBTQ+ Services, dedicated school for the Deaf, a special program for students on the Autism Spectrum, even a ham radio club on campus! Unfortunately I had to settle with something else to finish my education with. Im sorry but the cost of entry was way too high for me.

The staff were super friendly and made our college tour even better!

I work there

Great school for all major interests

Awesome campus and cutting edge tech.

It keeps getting bigger.

Really nice campus. Very friendly clean enviromemt

Most of the reviews you will hear will be from oblivious alumni and picked favorites of the administration. Let me tell you-- as someone who worked closely with the administration through the student government and student councils, this college is terrible. Compared to my colleagues who attended universities who actually kept up with the times and growing university costs, RIT is only interested in growing profits and Munson is the incarnation of that reality. The board of trustees is composed of favored corporate personal from the rochester area. It was bizarrre to me that they just recently hired people to address the terrible housing issues and a leader to address deaf issues (first deaf board of trustees member despite being one of the largest deaf colleges in the country). I only just recently realized it was to promote their own self image of progressivism and liberalism. This college is not at all progressive. In fact, every minority student is used as a statistic to benefit their private status and increase tuition EVERY YEAR. If you have the option to attend a state or public school, its a much better option.

Great classes, ugly campus

One of the best Schools. Pricey but well worth it. Very diversified. On campus housing is very very pricey. Better off joining some mates and renting a house nearby.

Do not reply on instagram

They have so many resources that students can take advantage of to really push towards their dream career. This college is great if you are into engineering, technologies, or science. I personally went for photography and all the professors in my major were professional and some were well known photographers! It was really amazing to be taught by professionals all around. Truly great school.

Not much too argue about. Its ranked in the top 150 schools in the country and is approaching its 200th anniversary. The campus is impeccable, all beautiful brick, with tunnels to connect dorms with dining facilities. It has legendary instruction and perhaps more importantly connections to real jobs upon graduation. They are super generous financially. Youd never regret getting this caliber of education.

Nice ppl, the interior addresses are little bit confusing

Great place to study, culture and atmosphere are wonderful and conducive to growth. The school has a reputation of being easier to get into, but harder to stay. The workload prepares you for industry no matter what major.

I attended this college in 2000 until I graduated in 2005. CLASS OF 2005!

Great Engering school and they have their act together with this social distancing thing we have a reservation time window to move in

Beautiful sprawling campus, wish i was a student again.. nice buildings and facilities, disabled friendly. Good library, fun places to hang around like global village. Student life will be good here

An amazing university on the rise. Increasing focus on applied research and experiential learning opportunities for students. Its a great place that I highly recommend to anyone interested.

Definitely an institution on the forefront of the digital and business world. Strong technically, certainly not a liberal arts school, that said, the course and offering diversity is sufficient for most.

Each room is very well-thought-out and designed. They have a good dance floor, a fireplace and they a fire pit, and they are equipped to handle the most modern technology.

Breakfast was delicious as always

Best Institute College

The place has lot to offer if you utilize the resources. Its not just about academic excellence but grooming yourself at the fullest. At the end of your student life you can see your whole new self shining out of you.

Overpriced for profit school. I was able to get a decent education there but I feel like the first class they offer should be about paying back your student loans. Although that would probably greatly increase the drop-outs.

My son attends this school...its awesome!

RIT was a great school for Software Engineering when I went (2003-2008), and Ive worked with several more recent students (as co-ops) that suggest it continues to do a good job.However, everybody Ive talked to says the transition from quarters to semesters significantly reduced the effectiveness of the school for SE, CS, IT, and other engineering disciplines. The quarter system certainly seems to have been one of the big things that made it such a great engineering college, and moving to semesters seems like it brings it down closer to the quality of most other technical colleges.

Nice place

This institute has a plethora of resources from which students can acquire practical knowledge in the working field, as well as obtain relevant coursework for their respective major. All in all, this college is highly recommended for the NTID (deaf students), engineering students, and those pursuing a computer-related major.

I am the grandmother of an RIT student. I have had fabulous experiences with every staff member with whom I have interacted. Although I do not get to visit campus often (Florida is a little far away!), I find a vibrant atmosphere whenever I am there. And, most importantly, my granddaughter is thriving!

Great university, checkout the new cyber security building!

Great Professors in the CAST School, I still keep in touch.Alumni Program is very helpful with so many benefits and services every grad should take advantage of.

Well commute is very close and some students ladies and gentleman some are nice and friendly and also workers that Im with very nice its just first at work frustrating

As a photographer the institute offer photography equipment through their store,as well as many talented people to talk to.

I wish youd give my girlfriend back.

This is where in work

This place was just okay. Certain foods in cafeterias made me sick. RITs transport system was limited. But I enjoyed excellent interpreting services and found some classes interesting.

Its wonderful. So accepting and smart.

Our son couldnt be happier with his choice to attend ...

Im proud that I can be one of RIT alumni! Before I came here. I never know awesome the school is. They change my career path, give me the right direction!

Excellent as always ‼️

Whose idea was ROO, again?

Friendly teachers and students, nice campus, Lots of research opportunities if you are looking for them. NTID is outstanding in its field. Well, its just a little cold here :)

Free speech is a fundamental right.

Great school expensive but worth it many great professors with great knowledge and experience also vast resources available to students

Excellent crowd of people

Justified to have a 60-odd rank in USA

Meh

Great food and service, but they don’t use Heinz ketchup.

Nice college. Huge campus. loved the gym and new ice hockey stadium

The pictures are speaking clearly about RIT. I found some good images of the Institute through this site visit.

Drab atmosphere and outrageous prices

This review is only about the concession stand. Very impolite and un-accommodating service. Bought a slice of pizza (for $3) and paid with a $20 bill but they gave me $7 back in change. Immediately I went back and told them about the mistake and they said there “was nothing they could do.” I didn’t take no for an answer and asked what other options I have and they said they could count the drawer. They counted 1 drawer (out of 5) and said that it was even so that was that. I asked to talk to the manager and he was very rude and dismissive just saying there was nothing they could do. My best advice to anyone going here is to smuggle in your own food. It will taste better and you’ll have a little more money.

I transferred to R.I.T. from Stony Brook University, Long Island. Obtained entrance to the medical Illustration program under Robert Wabnitz in 1978. Dr. Wabnitz taught undergrads at R.I.T. and graduate students at University of Rochester. He was dedicated to teaching scientific Illustration and was a wonderful human being. He threw us into Gross Anatomy with the pre meds and we always tested higher. One female pre med went running from the room upon the uncovering of the cadavers which, thankfully, were all face down. When I left in 1981, Computer Aided Drafting negated everything that I learned and made hand Illustration virtually obsolete in medical Illustration. We were taught carbon dust techniques pioneered by Max Brodel and watercolor techniques established by Frank Netter- techniques which are no longer in demand. Im not bitter. I moved to NYC and worked in a series of high end art galleries where I capitalized on the many credits I earned in Art History at both Stony Brook University and R.I.T. I sold authentic Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Persian, Medieval, and Renaissance art to serious collectors. Here is the lesson: when life hands you lemons, make lemonade and get into retail.

Horrible weather in rochester, especially for the poor 1st and 2nd years who dont have a proper tunnel system yet from dormside to campus. Still a bad walk for uc and riverknoll folks during the winter. Tuition is mad expensive, but thats because america is financially fked. Also, for some reason RIT parking gives you such a hard time (like nasty $35 fines) just because the RIT board doesnt have an effective way of putting limitations on how many cars can register for rit. Would I say this school didnt help me at all? No. I got to meet very few great intelligent people (some professors. Some students) and made cool connections. But man could the weather be better.

Awesome ice skating learning program.

Rensselaer Institute of Technology, or The RIT Institute of Technology for short, is among the top 8 best Institutes of Technology in New York City. They have a university-famous hockey team, represented by their mascot, the Sun Devil.Tip for the class of 2019: Only the freshmen call it by its full name; if you dont want to sound like a frosh, be sure to use the moniker Ole Miss. Semper RI

My oldest son attended here for two years. Although the campus is not bad on the eyes, he didnt have the best experience. He says he could have gotten the same education, maybe even better by staying local, which would have saved us a ton of money. Before he can graduate he needs to land a co-op for 6 months. He has been out of school for over a year now and has yet to find one. The school, in my opinion. could be a little more helpful in this situation. Now, we are finding ourselves having to physically go up there for a long weekend to attend their career fair. Hopefully, he will be able to find one or a least be pointed in the right direction.

RIT is my second home. If youre looking to go here, especially as an undergrad, do yourself a favor and live on campus or as close to it as possible. Immerse yourself, get the full experience. RIT has a wonderful eclectic culture that I havent found anywhere else on earth. Winter can be a drag over here, but that doesnt make the community or school any less amazing. RIT is wonderful and the friends that Ive made in my time here are among the best. Weve only graduated three years ago, but we still reminisce about our years here. You will be challenged, but you will learn a lot. Dont forget to have fun!

Great School!!! Great Programs!!! Great Instructors!!! Great Reputation in Industry!!! Co-op Education Program is Really Awesome!!!

Great educational Institution with excellent facilities.

Not a fan, I went there for a conference about marketing yourself in business. Was there for 4 hours and 1 hour was learning and the rest was a recruiting ploy for you to go to RIT... not a fan when I already committed to a college and wasted a day

How can people think at such an aesthetically offensive place. So ugly it stupefies.

Good school. Sufficient amount of bricks. Would attend again.

Poggers

My alma mater!

Top-notch research university with a big bill. RITs innovation, certainly in some departments, is at or nearly on par with the best in the country, and its certainly renowned for its computer science and computer engineering, but dont forget that Rochester has one of the top two largest populations of deaf people in the country, and NTID offers unparalleled access to education for deaf and hard-of-hearing students. Interpreters come out of here for American Sign Language (ASL) with the best skills in the world. The only criticism: the bizarre modern art stationed around the campus. Is that sentinel statue really necessary?

Just graduated with a B.S degree in electrical engineering from RIT. I transferred from MCC, which was a much better school! (Especially for the price difference). Was told by several students that MCC had prepared students far better than RIT for the 3rd and 4th year classes.

You get what you pay for. All private colleges are insanely expensive these days and RIT is no exception for sure. But I am an alumni from 2010 and I have been back to campus many times since graduating for visiting and recruiting. Their IT and information security programs are world class. If you want to be targeted by the big names in high tech RIT is a good option. I still keep in touch with a number of my friends from college and I can say we are all doing pretty well for ourselves. We are still possibly paying off some of our student loans but many have paid off loans early. There sure are cheaper places but I really felt at home living on campus. I do not regret my decision going to RIT and I still today talk with people who wish they went to RIT because they have seen the world class skills graduates leave with.

Its a maze

Its aight I guess.

Fantastic education in an ever growing and higher ranking by the minute school.

The teachers are great. The education is good. The facilities are excellent. But that isnt enough to save the experience. Life outside of class is brutal. The experience all together is brutal. The dorm life is terrible, the RIT INN is bad also. Apartments are overpriced from the premium ones to the unfurnished ones. The food was pound for pound the most awful food I ever had to eat in my life. The school is like 80% Male 20 % Female and out of that 20% less than 5% is attractive. So dont expect on meeting any dream girls here the chances are slim compared to other colleges. The weather is terrible, The parties dont kick it half as good as some other colleges, drugs run high here with Rochester being a warehouse city for drugs, The campus is so massive parking spots are at least a half mile away at times many times further. Lots of prank fire alarms getting pulled more often than not in the middle of the nigh. The public safety and student conduct system is rather garbage compared to other colleges due to the fact that many of the reports they receive are rigged to target another student they dont like (yes the university can be that childish sometimes they still play with nerf guns) . Everything on campus is expensive, undersized, and downgraded. The ATM machines want 4 bucks not including your own bank fees, domestic beers are 6 bucks imports are 9. The groceries are terrible unless you go off campus. Lastly theres the campus that is built on swampy wetlands and its always soggy and miserable long after storms have passed too.Im thankful for the education I got it was good. But the overall experience, If I could do it all over again I think Id take a chance elsewhere. Education is important and lots of opportunity come from it. But the experience outside of class is priceless. Its far more important because many people build the foundation of their future off of what they get from the overall experience. Education is just a tool to build off of the foundation and nothing will ever change that regardless of how nice facilities and teachers are at RIT. The experience is the foundation the education is what you use to build off it.
