My current major is Microelectronic Engineering. RIT is the only school in the nation that offers this major. This school is fantastic and has actually challenged me. I was used to getting an A in everything but in this school that's not possible for me. The teachers in general are great and because this is a hands on and co-op school it makes the learning process a lot easier.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
The school itself is fantastic; however, the location is a bit blah. It's in the middle of Rochester, NY where it is basically gray all the time. Other than that there is plenty of stuff to do and I find myself busy 110% of the time.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
For me it's worth it. I'm paying roughly $40,000 a year, but I am given access to a lab that is priced at $64 million, so I can't complain. Plus it is the only school for my major that allows you to use their cleanroom as an undergraduate student.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Make sure you a prepared to work as this school is not for the faint of heart. If you're in an engineering program it's going to be tough, but completely worth it and you should get a job coming right out of college.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Microelectronic Engineering
Computer Engineering
Electrical Engineering
Photography
Other (too many to list and I can't possibly know all of them, but this school has received many awards, so check it out!)
Oh this school is also extremely diverse, so if you're looking for an experience go here :)
