<p>my friends told me that RPI is more presitigous than URochester. I don't believe that, for UR has a higher ranking in US news. So I wonder how credible the ranking is.</p>
<p>Any opinions?</p>
<p>RPI...that is?</p>
<p>Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute</p>
<p>any comments?</p>
<p>Rochester is definitely more prestigious.</p>
<p>Rochester is a bit better balanced. It has a great looking campus, and a program to get a free year.</p>
<p>I'd chose URochester, based on it's more traditional college feel. Just an opinion however.</p>
<p>IB.</p>
<p>UR is a much more friendly place than RPI and its more balanced for those who wanna explore their career choices while at UR. Otherwise - it has strong engineering, medical, and optics programs (science in general) but weak on the arts. RPI is mostly engineering focused - but I dont think the kinda ppl who go there r my kinda ppl =P</p>
<p>its up to u</p>
<p>For engineering, Rensselaer if far more prestigous than Rochester. For non-tech Rochester may have the advantage.</p>
<p>RPI all the way!!!</p>
<p>how sad...
stop bashing Rochester just cuz u cant get in Jenny</p>
<p>RPI is better for engineering but for most anything else, Rochester is better.</p>
