Anyone on CC participating this year? To future RPI Stars: I’ll post an update in the comments after my trip.
Overall Experience: AMAZING
I met some awesome people and had a great, laid-back time. The atmosphere was surprisingly appealing, and I learned some cool concepts in the class visits.
Food: Okay. Average buffet style selection, average quality.
Weather: IT WAS SNOWING. So cold. Not prepared at all. At least I could have a snowball fight.
Classes: My intro to logic class was interesting, but I was also so tired from my red-eye flight that it was hard to focus. Make sure you sleep a lot before the trip if you want to make the most out of the late nights.
Activities: Informative, and the students gave honest opinions of the school. The real fun was when I hung out with the students in the dorm common area and played super smash bros and party games all night. I also caught a T-shirt at the hockey game they took us too. So SCORE.
Campus: Cold. Cold. So cold. Be prepared. It is not too far of a walk anywhere, just please, bring a good jacket.
