Part of being a Software Engineering major means spending a year with Computer Science students learning the basics of computer programming. When I first came to RIT, I knew nothing about writing code but the classes challenged and taught me well and now I feel that I am fully prepared to begin my major. RIT does a good job of preparing you for the classes that matter. You'll be able to get your math, liberal arts and sciences out of the way early so that you can get to the good stuff and excel in your major!

    In the past year that I have attended Rochester Institute of Technology, I have grown more as a person than any other year of my life. The knowledge I have been gifted is unbelievable. The transition to such a huge school was hard at first, but I would do it again in a heartbeat!

    A school full of diversity. Yes, there's more boys than girls, but there's also still variance. There's good food, great computers, and a lot of events.

    Everybody is unique in this school; they are not afraid to show their colors. That can attract/detract some people. The weather is terrible, but it hasn't been that bad lately.

    IT is great place for learning. For the most part, the teachers seem to care for the students. However, there is a terrible guy to girl ratio but that is being remedied with each incoming class. Also there is not much else to do out of RIT because the school is in a rural area.
