What I have to say about RIT is it is NOT a place to go if you aren't sure of what you want to do. The trimester system makes transfering in, like I did, and out, like I'm going to do, tricky as well. They do have decent/good CS, Engineering and Design schools, but for everything else I recommend a cheaper school (I'm trying to transfer to a SUNY school myself right now for Liberal Arts - Math). Techinical School is a very good word for this school. Lots of classes are alot of busywork and just teach skills, theres not that much freedom to it. I wanted to explore, be creative, but RIT teaches how to work certain programs or do certain problems. Its not a well-rounded education, its teaching you a job, but if you have a passion for this job, or just want something that makes you money, I think you will be better off than I was.Socially it really is what you make of it, though I would say its a little harder to "make of it" than most schools (place is a bit of a spirit killer).Its too expensive, I don't mind the food, and housing is annoying.I really can't badmouth it that much because it just isn't the place for me, but the most important thing to remember (so much so that I have to say it twice): This school isn't about finding yourself, it isn't about being well-rounded, its about following what you really want to do, and if you're sure of it, than I say go for it, though I would look at RPI as well if I were you.
