<p>My brother and grandfather went here. And, I heard being a girl helps. Is it beneficial for me to be applying to the humanities school? With the EMPAC building it seems like they're trying to expand that school. I'm hoping to study communications.</p>

<p>How beneficial are these things at RPI?</p>
