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!

    I attended the WE@RIT and was thoroughly impressed by whatever I saw. The teachers were all very intelligent in their field and the classrooms and labs were all up to date and clean. The student body was very nice, whenever I got lost someone was able to help me find my way.

    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.
