“BARH and Blitman are the best...but also the farthest. …”
“Freshman year you walk in knowing no one. But in just a few weeks, everyone is your best friend. Floor gatherings are common, especially the 2:00 a.m. pancake and movie…”
“I have only had that RPI kid roommates, the crazy kind that has some sort of disorder and really needs help but is a genius. There are mostly normal, amazing…”
“Lots of studious students, I am one too! You just have to find the person or group of people you can nerd out with.…”
“the dorms at rensselaer are average living quarters, varying slightly in quality depending on which dorm it is. each dorm contains single/double living quarters, a floor or private bath, and…”
The food at commons is awful, but the sandwich station is amazing so it balances out. Sage and Blitman have by far the best food, but trust me by the end of your first year you will be sick of college food. It's good but not an I want to eat this every day of my life good.
» Read MoreThere are a few on going jokes among students about the food here, but in reality, its not too bad. You can normally find something good to eat at the dining halls and the cafes are amazing!
» Read MoreThe main dining halls are boring and don't have the best choices for food. There are many other places on campus to eat though and you can use Flex dollars from your meal plan to eat there.
» Read MoreGreat food! In all dinning, especially BarH, Commons, and Sage.
» Read MoreIt will be good for the first week or too but then goes downhill from there... I do however recommend the omelettes from sage dining hall though!
» Read MoreThere are four major dining halls: Commons, Sage, Blitmann, and BARH. But, there are many other places you can buy food using flex dollars. Sodexo is the food company that dominates campus.
» Read MoreThere are four major dining halls on campus. AVOID COMMONS. Sage is alright, BarH is ok, and Blitman is delicious but repetitive. All of the dining halls offer not-so-healthy food and a fun atmosphere. Freshman 15 warning. Otherwise most of the acedemic buildings have some sort of cafe in them, and downtown Troy has some lovely eating areas.
» Read MoreAll you can eat buffet everyday for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I love it! Food is from Sodexo. Could be of better quality, but it is definitely better than making the food yourself.
» Read MoreSage and Commons are the largest dining halls on campus (buffet style) that always have the common selection of burgers, fries and pizza, as well as alternating options and healthy options.
» Read MoreThe food was ok, and nothing spectacular, just average dorm food
» Read MoreThe Greek life is very respectable and traditional, but don't be fooled we have our deal of parties. The party atmosphere at RPI is much calmer with almost each party requiring an invite to enter. One doesn't have to worry about random people entering and the brothers and sisters involved in Greek are great people and are really nice.
» Read Moregreat, not in it myself, but the events are always good.
» Read MoreGreek life is pretty huge here, more so for guys than girls. There are only 5 sororities but around 30 frats. Frat parties are usually the big events on the weekends so it helps to be a brother so you can get in. Girls can always get in.
» Read MoreGreek life is huge. One in four students are a part of a Greek organization and for good reason. All houses provide a network of students that can help you with classes, relate to your problems, and help you through school. Plus there are enough houses on campus so anyone can find one they fit into! I love the Greek system here.
» Read MorePlenty of frats and sororities to join if you'd like to. I'm not in one personally, but all of them are open to outsiders.
» Read MoreGreek life is a great tool for being social, networking, fun events, and service.
» Read MoreThere are something like 15 frats and 5 sororities. For a girl, the Greek Life is pretty limited if you are looking to pledge. The guys have so many options. Fall Rush was a month long and just a lot of fun for everyone - guys and girls.
» Read MoreThere's dozens of frats and sororities. There are always parties going on and the first month or so of each semester they put on big fun events for anyone to swing by. Also for the ladies: most frat parties you can automatically get in free, you usually don't need to be on the list and so that is the trade-off for being the minority at the technical school, guys like girls to hang around.
» Read MoreNot being a part of Greek Life, I can't say too much about it. However, from what I have seen and heard from others, it is pretty good. there are several different Greek organizations on Campus, and those that I know that are a part of them are very happy.
» Read MoreRPI has a large number of students involved in greek life. While I am not involved with it myself, I know a bunch of students who are extremely happy with their decision to go greek.
