the ratio has been 1:1 for the last three freshman classes... apparently the administration noticed that this was the main complaint and they actually managed to fix it! amazing! now if only they could make RIT into a decent school...

i've heard the 1:1 rumor, but i think it's BS... there's definitely more women than in the past, but i don't think the entering classes are 1:1 yet.

I hope you don't like girls because you won't see many on your campus. I go to University of Rochester that's just down the street. We pwn you at everything (including girls) :)

Woo RIT!! I don't know whether to be happy or sad for you. On one hand it's a pretty good school, but on the other hand it can be a miserable atmosphere. The winter is brutal, and there's a lackof girls, (except there's more and more girls with each freshman class.. and the majority of the girls in the school are in buildin 7, where the New Media Major is)

Anyways, i think you'll have a good time if you're a cool guy... cool people always tend to seek each other out in a tech school...

So, any rochesterians got plans for the spring? Anyone livin' around Park ave and Culver?!

WTF???? Harvey Mudd worse than Cal Poly and trailed by San Jose State? That's like comparing UC Berkeley to some Pheonix Online University.

This list is crap.
Harvey Mudd pwns all of the schools on the list thats for sure. San Jose state is a joke. Cal Poly is supposed to be pretty good, but not _that_ good.

New Media Students have it made =) All my classes are filled with girls who have no clue what you're doing and practically beg for help... I'd say 1 out of every 10 are hot.
