Wow, I'm a sophomore at RIT currently. Feels odd seeing people who came here so long before me!

Enjoy your time there -- a lot of people complain about it but I truly loved RIT. I hope they've maintained some of the feel of the campus among all the development which has happened... I can't believe that the Riverknoll apartments are apparently still in use!

I recommend picking up a philosophy class with Dr Selinger if you've got a free elective hanging around.

PS the semester system is bullshit, quarters forever

I end up back on campus now and then, despite having graduated and moved away ten years ago - it's definitely just as interesting to see what's changed as what _hasn't_ changed.

I graduated right before the quarter-to-semester conversion happened, and heard more than my share of horror stories about lagging 10-week classes getting taught in 15, or worse, two 10-week classes smashed into a 20-week class, then taught in 15. Luckily, the writing was on the wall, so I ended up taking 32 course credits off-campus, and providing three years of pay stubs so that I could count part-time work as a co-op block, just so that I could graduate early.
