Major: Interior Design (This Major's Salary over time)
I came to RIT hoping to get the education that I paid for, but that didn't happen. The professors in the Interior Design program only care about their paychecks and not their students. Majority of the majors at RIT require you to participate in an internship, except the Interior Design Program. The teachers don't have the time to help out, is what they say. The Interior Design teachers have favorites and if you don't brown noise then you are not one of their favorites. If you like to speak your mind and let people know in critique how to improve their work, you are looked down upon. One teacher said one day to us "I have a new philosophy this year." The class replied with, "What is that?" He said "I don't care." He said he was planning on retiring that year and just didn't care about teaching us anymore. Now would that motivate you as a student? I am eager to learn, which is why I am paying the amount of money that I pay therefore I expect my teachers to be motivating in teaching me. At RIT you will not find motivating teachers in the Interior Design Program. Most teachers at RIT are proud of their work that have done and usually show the students. I have yet to see any of my teacher’s work that they have done in their career and this is my fourth year at RIT. My advice for every senior coming out of high school would be to not just go to the school to visit and for the orientation. I would request to talk to graduating students to get their opinion about their education and if it was worth it. I have gone to community colleges and have learned more then I have learned at RIT. With the amount of money that I am paying as a student I demand excellence and you will not get that at RIT in the Interior Design Program.
