<p>I get a lot of mail from Rochester Institute of Technology. Being from Pennsylvania I have little way of knowing if they have a good reputation or if they're just one of those schools that pretends they do. I want to study Physics</p>
<p>My daughter wants to be a bio major (not pre-med; she wants to do research, probably in genetics) and she is applying there. She attended an overnight admissions event there last summer and durinng the parents’ portion, I attended a workshop with all the department heads at the College of Science. I was very impressed. The departments are much smaller than the tech-oriented programs but not were the department chairs on the ball, but they seemed to focus strongly on outcomes, a product of their being in an Institute of Technology.</p>
<p>Why don’t you post to the RIT forum here:
[Rochester</a> Institute of Technology - College Confidential](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/rochester-institute-technology/]Rochester”>Rochester Institute of Technology - College Confidential Forums)
It hasn’t been active lately but there are parents of RIT students who are active on College Confidential.</p>
<p>RIT is especially strong in astrophysics and areas related to imaging sciences.</p>
