Most people don’t realize how amazing RIT is for art school. Whenever I tell someone from back home that I go to RIT, they always ask if my major is either engineering or computer science… It’s actually advertising photography, guys. They seem baffled and ask why I didn’t go somewhere like SVA or Purchase. Well, I did apply there but I always wondered “What if I wanted to change my major to like Industrial Engineering? I would have to transfer, worry about what schools to go to, etc.” I always liked having options just in case, and RIT is the best place for options.

RIT had everything I wanted and more. Our facilities - no matter what major - are insanely amazing. During my internship over the summer, they couldn’t believe all that RIT had to offer and all the information theyhave already taught me in my three and a half years here. This school gives me the opportunity to literally do whatever I want (as long as it if offered) and I get to explore other options if I want to. I am working towards a minor in advertising and public relations, and I love that I can take these classes even though I am not in the major or the College of Liberal Arts. RIT is kind of like a buffet with every food possible and you get to go back in line as many times as you want. Now who wouldn't want that many choices?
