How is the atmosphere at RPI?

I realize that people have mixed feelings about this school and wanted to get a better idea about the environment. I’ll be applying for biomedical engineering (hopefully I get in)! How rigorous are the academics? What to people do for fun? What’s the environment around the university like? How are the students? Are there good future job prospects? What’s your overall impression of the school?
Sorry for having so many questions! Thanks!

Great questions, would love to know the answers too. Have read so many mixed reviews about RPI, am worried about sending daughter there if she gets in and gets a good merit offer. Guess we will know tomorrow.

I’m interested in this too!

The academics are rigorous,if you read further down this forum. Job prospects are great for engineering majors.

It seems more serious than some schools, but based on a few data points, that is not completely true.
