Around Town

There is a lot of clubs on campus so get involved! Life can be pretty dull if you don't join a club or go greek because frankly troy isn't too exciting. The Greek system is actually really respectable so rush and get to know the sororities/fraternities worst case you get some free food out of rushing!

There is something happening on campus any given day of the week. Take your pick. And of course the main ones are listed online, as we are a tech school. Personally I enjoy spending time in downtown Troy at the farmers market and talking to the shop keepers. I've also gone to shows at EMPAC and student performances all over campus. There is something for everyone as long as you are willing to make a effort to leave your room.

Individual clubs, like language, RCA (Rensselaer Christian Association), going out to eat at pizzabellas, lots to do!

Frat parties, hockey games, and late night adventures are usually my go to fun times.

If you know what there is on campus you will never be bored, the hard part is finding out what this school has to offer.

I play videogames mostly since I am a Game and Simulation Arts and Sciences major, but there is more than that here. There are presentations held just about daily that you can attend. You can go bowling down by Blitman. You can go to the library and read. You can take a stroll around the large, beautiful campus. You can hang our with your dormmates. You can head downtown (a short walk) and visit local shops. You can take a bus to the movies. You can go to events that are hosted every now and then. You can go to a frat party. There are tons of things to do. There are also freaking tons of clubs and student sponsored activities to join in on!

RPI has over 160 clubs, sports, and organizations. Hockey is the biggest sport with home games versus other division I colleges such as Union, Dartmouth, and Princeton. There are events held every week such as performances at the Experimental Performing Arts Center, performances by student groups (dance, acapella, etc), and weekend movie showings by UPAC. RPI does have parties but are hard to find if you are not of the female variety or connected to the fraternities/sororities that hold them. Greek life also provides many more social events.

Clubs, volunteer organizations, club sports teams, hockey games, and the Greek events. There's so much I want to do and not enough time to do it, I'm always busy, but I'm not going crazy. I'm also always up for a night in watching movies with my friends.

Ice hockey locally

My favorite thing to do was play in the snow, since there was plenty of it.
