    The school is expensive but with financial aid and scholarship options it is do-able if you are a determined student. Anyone who hears that you went to RIT will instantly be impressed!

    There's always things going on and a lot of work to do. If you're Deaf/HOH, or you're going into the ASL-interpreting program, your tuition is cut. But sometimes financial aid needs to be improved.

    A bit expensive college for my taste but it is what you pay for; RIT is a research institution, not a teaching school. What they teach you here is top-notch, and they offer great variety of supporting activities such as tutoring.
