<p>Which is the better one for jobs, salary, and facilities???</p>
<p>Personally, I would pick RIT. It is certainly higher rated in photography.</p>
<p>If you want to know more about the RIT program, I have a friend who's there now. I don't know much about photography, but she's spending this quarter doing a co-op. That's a nice bonus.</p>
<p>I agree with Taxguy on this one. RIT is the way to go, unless, of course, you'd rather live in NYC than Rochester. :)</p>
<p>My d is a freshman at RIT right now and she hopes to get a minor/concentration in advertising photography. I think the photography school has about 900 students. You can get more info about the program at <a href="http://www.rit.edu/%7E661www/%5B/url%5D">http://www.rit.edu/~661www/</a></p>
<p>My d did some modeling last yr in NYC and usually encountered different photographers at each photoshoot. One had gone to RIT and all of them knew people at RIT (or those who had gone there). They all spoke highly of RIT's program and recommended it to my d. Many of the photography studios were in Soho, near NYU so my d got a good feel for city life. At first it seemed very exciting, but after many days schlepping around the area, she decided city life wasn't her thing (and she preferred a real campus feel).</p>
<p>My d was a bit reluctant to consider RIT because of the poor social scene usually described to her (in student reviews, etc). Well, it's definitely not a big party school but fun can be found. She easily made friends and has no plans to come home until Thanksgiving. She did say she's very busy (has 3 studios & 17 credits this qtr), but everyone there is just as busy. </p>
<p>Then again, my son prefers the city so if that's your thing, you may prefer NYU. It's definitely a different environment. Spend time at both schools - and look closely at the curriculum guides & facilities. If you go to RIT, check out living at the PhotoHouse (has it's own photo studio in the dorm) or the ArtHouse (has a small blackroom on the floor).</p>
<p>RIT. They beat Tisch by a long shot, and photography is one of those fields where plain talent usually isn't enough once you're in the real world.</p>
