Anyone goin to these colleges sound off. Haha. Seriously. Does anyone go to any of these schools. I live on Long Island NY and thought that going to school in FL would be awesome...... I was wrong. I hate it here and am looking to transfer asap. Anyone have anything to say about these schools? oppinions would be awesome. Btw, I'm going for Mechanical Engineering.

 

Also hows the area. I don't really care for the school only. Right now I'm going to a very respected school but can't stand it because of the area. So the location matters as well.

 

Hey, I just found this thread. I graduated from RIT in August. I was there for all 4 years. I started off as an IT major then switched into the business program. I hate hate hate Rochester with a passion and I didn't get much assistance by way of tuition from the gov. but the school itself is good. I'd kill for Daytona beach right now...haha.

 

^^ Interesting. Why did you hate Rochester? For me I'm a snowboarder, I used to go snowboarding every single weekend so you can imagine how much Daytona Beach is gonna suck for me. What didn't you like about it? Was it the people that went there? What are they like?

 

I live right near RPI and my sister works there. Great school but expensive.

 

my best friend goes to Wentworth and absolutely loves it, boston is pretty fun too.

 

If i go to Boston were chillin Dave lmao. Yeah so far I got 6 schools picked out.
RIT,RPI, which yeah is expensive a f0k, Wentworth, Northeastern, and if I can't go to any of those I'm gonna go local to my house and go to either Stony Brook or Hofstra.

Dave. What does your friend like about Wentworth

I mean I had someone tell me they love riddle but as everyone knows, different strokes for different folks. The quality of the school is important but so is its surroundings.

 

ttt. Added NYIT to the list. Anyone? responses? Please?

 

I graduated from Wentworth in '04 for Computer Engineering. It was pretty good; lots of practical knowledge and learning by experimenting and building. Nice surroundings for a city setting, but like any city setting you have to be careful.

 

nice car scionjim23

 

I graduated from RIT in 2003. I liked the school, and I hated Rochester a lot around the time I moved away (in 2004), but over the last couple of years, I've come to appreciate it more. I'm actually looking to move back to Rochester, because I made a lot of friends in my time there (who never left), and am still familiar with the area.

There's culture and nightlife if you bother to leave the campus (which is out in the suburbs)-- that's how most people end up hating RIT. They don't ever go anywhere besides the chinese buffet down the street, yet have the nerve to complain. Rochester's not a big city, but it's not a bad place. I mean, you can't expect a declining upstate city to be particularly cosmopolitan, after all.

No matter where you end up, your experience is exactly what you make of it. Don't be a boring stick in the mud, and you'll have a good time, and learn something on the side,

For what it's worth, you have to travel a good 1-1.5 hours from Rochester to ski/snowboard, because the city is in the middle of a huge flat area south of Lake Ontario.

 

^^ hmmm interesting. Thanks for the input guys. I think I'm gonna be staying in Daytona Beach for now. I will apply to a few schools and see how many credits they take and what they offer me. I might be going New Zealand for study abroad so well see how it goes.
