RIT is not for everyone. Honestly. It is career-focused, teaching you things you need to know once you get out of college. If you graduate from RIT, you are pretty much guaranteed a job right there because RIT has mandatory co-ops (kind of like paid internships but more serious) so you get set up in the kinds of jobs you'll be looking for after you graduate.

This is not a big party school. You can find big parties if you look for them, but this isn't the the place if you're looking for that. However, the college activities board is really good and there is usually some sort of event every night, and there is always something to do.

Not everyone is a total reject geek. Not everyone sits in their room in the dark playing WoW. Sure, there's a small population that does, but most people are friendly and looking for the same amount of social interaction you are. RIT is a good school, but people who come here for the wrong reasons tend to complain about it louder than the people who like it can praise it.
