academics are good, social life is bad. I don' know what it is about RIT. It is so depressing sometimes. Back in High School i use to party with a select group of friends, not just go on drunken rampages looking for random people. However, at RIT things are different. I feel like the people here would much rather play video games than make friends. The school has made me want to transfer simply because I cannot for the life of me make friends here that enjoy the same things I do; some kids study all the time, some kids party way to much, some kids dont talk to anyone and play Everquest all day… I just can't seem to find a place for me. One other depressing thing about RIT, although I have a wonderful, beautiful girlfriend back in Indy, is that There are hardly any females here. The ones that are usually are kind of weirdy art students, gross engineering chicks, and quiet ones.

Just so people know, this is a neutral survey; i dont want to make it sound like RIT is terrible for everyone, it is not. The people that will most enjoy themselves here are people that come from high school that didnt go to parties every weekend, can handle being alone for periods of time, and were typically the quiet ones in school, period. For the rest of us, you may find this school to be a tad on the boring side. If you really want to go here (by the way, i hear the co-op program is amazing ) than you should not hesitate, just be sure you can handle leaving a social life behind, if that is, in fact, what you are doing.
