RIT-My son was sooo excited for this school and the program. I was hoping it would bump WPI down the list because the merit from WPI puts it wayy out of reach for us.
I made the mistake of scheduling our tour in January, in the middle of unseasonably cold (for Rochester!!) weather. It was freezing!! We had hats, gloves, earmuffs and did the two mile around campus tour. He asked the tour guide to show us the tunnels so we could see what the experience would be.
After we got home, he decided to apply to Florida tech. He said that he did not want to be a mole person and have to be underground 5 months out of the year.
We both liked the campus and were really impressed by all of the technology and evidence of the investments being made on campus but visiting when the temperature was below freezing was a huge mistake.
