<p>Hi,</p>

<p>DS was given a full tuition merit scholarship at Miami University of Ohio and yet to hear from RIT about scholarship offers.</p>

<p>My question is ... Top rated gaming program in a techy male dominated school for $$$ or small growing eager 15-30 rank multi disciplinary gaming program in a balanced environment seemingly not techy world. Both are far away for us. </p>

<p>My son has many interests with games and science at the top with all of his close friends girls or gentle giant guys. He likes a small intellectual and easy going crowd.</p>

<p>ACT scores
Comp=33
CR=35
Science=35
Math=30 (issues with fine motor skills)
English=32
Writing=10</p>

<p>Have you visited both? We have visited both and culturally they could not be further apart. It would be hard to imagine a student fitting in both. Miami was very fratty/sporty. For my extravert D who herself is an athlete, it was overwhelming. I just visited RIT with my S and found it a quieter campus more geared toward the technical kids.</p>

<p>Thx! That is what I have been hearing.</p>

<p>As long as my son finds his geeky crowd in gaming … just a few, he will be fine. He may not even notice the rest.</p>

<p>My D is a pretty outgoing kid who is pretty popular with a lot of inner nerd. She was pretty intimidated by the crowd and felt it would be quite a challenge to find her people. I think this is a college that should be visited before commitment.</p>

<p>Jumping in … Nellieh you meant that Miami Ohio was intimidating right?</p>

<p>Great … Thank you. we are hoping to meet a few of the geek types at their SF Innovation Campus this semester. The Director of the gaming program seems like a very interesting guy with an interest in the new direction in education etc. … speaks to other schools on the topic. There is an entrepreneurial/upbeat feel from afar so a visit is the best way to know for sure.</p>
