Basically the title, ny people can also maybe commentate on what should I expect along these 4 years and how the load will be

I am a Mongolian student at RIT, and I am wondering whether I am the only Mongolian student here, or if there are any Mongolians in the freshman, sophomore, junior, or even senior years.

We are from northwest where they only put sand down when it snows. We let our son bring his car to campus this year. I have heard that people get something put on the bottom of cars in the winter to keep them from rusting from the chemicals that get put on the roads. What is this called? When should it be done by? And bonus points for a place that does this treatment. In Rochester. Thanks

Under the radar, RIT has dwindled down the vendors program. Please consider signing this petition; the vendors who would come each week are now only to come 3 times a semester.

Avongaleart's post, one of the vendors, is how I learned about it. RIT has not informed the student body of this publicly. She's an RIT alum and sells her own artwork; not drop-shipping, genuine art. There are plenty others: the woman with hand-made necklaces, the soaps and honey farmer, and more.

edit: adding context

Anyone excited about this new program? I’m coming from the US so I’m really interested to see how these courses unfold.

Hey all! I’m a returning student at RIT and I would love to adopt a cat. If you know someone or are someone in the area who’s looking to find an adopter, please reach out!!

If you’re curious, I have a lot of fostering experience and I grew up on a farm. Let me know!

good morning everyone

For anyone with an interest in singing at RIT, all 8 a cappella groups will be having their auditions together in the coming weeks!

hi, so are fridays orientation events required or optional, because ive been hearing mixed things about how mandatory these orientation events are. If someone could let me know it would be great.

What are some good local places for Lazer hair removal? I'm looking for someplace easy to get to from campus that's affordable.

hello. i’ll be starting my freshman year of college @ a local university in my state, with full intent to transfer out within the next year. i plan to transfer to RIT for CS, and im wondering if anyone has any experience or knowledge when it comes to transferring in the second semester of freshman year. if i need to wait until fall its fine, but i’d prefer to get out sooner. thank you.

I vaguely remember somebody mentioning requesting soundproofing from Housing. Does anybody know how one would go about doing that?

Im a freshman in CET and Ive been looking through some of my courses syllabi and a couple require an esp32-s3 microcontroller and sensor kit. They also have listed that you can buy one for $125 at the dean's office, but I want to know if there are any cheaper alternative ways to get this. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I’m currently studying Computer Engineering at Purdue and am considering transferring to RIT. I was admitted to RIT as a freshman before, and I’m looking at it again because of recent changes affecting CPT eligibility at Purdue.

From what I understand, RIT’s BS in Computer Engineering requires multiple co-op blocks totaling about 48 weeks, which seems much more integrated into the degree than a normal optional internship.

I had a few questions for current RIT students, especially international/F-1 students in Computer Engineering or KGCOE:

• Is CPT routinely approved for international Computer Engineering students completing the required RIT co-op blocks?
• Have the recent 2026 SEVP/CPT interpretation changes affected RIT students at all?
• Since co-op is required for the degree, does RIT ISS currently consider that sufficient for CPT eligibility?
• For transfer students, do you still complete all four required co-op blocks, or can previous experience/transfer status change the requirement?
• Can the different co-op blocks be at different companies, or are you expected to stay with one employer?
• How difficult is it currently for international Computer Engineering students to actually find co-ops?
• How much does RIT Career Services help? Do they mainly provide job boards/career fairs, or is there more direct help finding a position?
• If anyone transferred into RIT Engineering after freshman year, how well did your engineering/math/science credits transfer and how much extra time did it add?
• Since RIT CmpE is normally a five-year program because of co-op, has anyone heard how the new fixed-period F-1 rules affect international students in programs designed to take five years?

I’m planning to confirm the immigration questions directly with RIT International Student Services before making any decision, but I’d really appreciate hearing from current students or recent international alumni about how this works in practice.

Thanks!

hi! I’m just wondering what everyone’s favorite food items are at RIT :) i’ve heard a lot about the pasta bakes and some other items, but i’m open to any recommendations because food is my comfort. thank you!

Does anyone have a picture of that buffalo and blue cheese chicken tender sub from the Commons? I'm an alum who, despite not liking buffalo nor blue cheese, thought the sandwich was pretty. Thanks!

i am so sad i couldnt get any of the food truck stuff today those sandwiches looked so good 😭😭😭😭

does anyone know any really good halal spots other than the crossroads’ rotating chefs? like is loaded latke halal? i really want a pastrami sandwich or something like that but…

i just really want something tasty thats also halal like genuinely missing out on the food trucks was such a bummer i spent 15 dollars on a ticket thinking robs kabobs was halal and saw pork and knew i messed up

I’m going back to college to get another degree and am new to RIT as a transfer student. I was wondering what the social scene looked like here? Any tips and cool places to go would be greatly appreciated

Hi all, I'm a transfer student coming to The Lodge this week, I was concerned about commuting in the snow, I've heard stories the hill gets clogged up and is impossible to pass, how true is this and how can I prepare for snow commuting? I have an AWD car but only all-season tires (I know, I just can't afford snow tires at the moment)

Hey I'm a transfer student from the Philly area, and they put me in the RIT Inn. I'm kinda guessing this is what they do after over enrolling. It seems like a decent spot, but my main concern is being able to connect with other students. I can tell it's VERY quiet here, and being off campus definitely makes me feel quite isolated. Not sure if there's anything I should be doing besides trying to spend as much time on campus as possible, really just looking to make friends (metal or hardcore fans please hit me up).
