My son is seriously considering going Early Decision to RPI but based on what I have experienced so far in dealing with the school, I am really wondering how well the school is run. The Net Price Calc is “down for maintenance” for the past 24 hrs with no indication of when it will be back up. What kind of school waits until admission season to do maintenance?
I also can’t get through to admissions or finaid, due to heavy call volume and then I get disconnected. So I have no idea when or if the NPC will be back up. Does anyone out there know? TIA!
I know people have different opinions, but my experiences with RPI have always been positive, and my son will be graduating this year. I’ve usually been able to talk to a real person, to get a real answer, the first time I call, or someone calls me back promptly. This started with e-mails to professors after our visit, to orientation questions, to scholarship/loan questions, etc. We’ve had a couple of odd situations, and they were handled well. People have gone above and beyond. The one area I can remember people complaining about is the bursars office, but we haven’t had any problems.
