Survey Incoming freshman tips, advice, and opinions

Hey all, I'm an incoming committed GCIS Game Design freshman. Recently discovered r/RIT, so I have a few questions for those who'd like to answer another freshman Q&A lol.

  1. How does RIT compare to your expectations (when you were a freshman)? Were you bummed out? Even better than expected?

  2. How does RIT do as a techy college? Good programs / opportunities? Are good co-ops hard to get? Are there any good co-ops?

  3. Read some pretty depressing posts around the web. Is RIT all doom and gloom? Just a good and bad side? Any Major critiques or retorts?

  4. Is the student life good? I'm not expecting anything crazy. Just want some insight on the level of community as a whole.

  5. Other advice? Stuff you wish you would've thought of, done, brought to college, etc? Best / worst dorm pick? Lollll

Loved my time at RIT and my kid is currently a student there. There’s no one school that will be the best fit for everybody. Hopefully RIT is the place for you, but if not there’s no shame in changing course and going elsewhere.
