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!

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)

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

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).

Today is the second day of orientation and as a freshman, I haven't made any REAL friends. I met two people at an NYC event, but i havent hung out with them much as i spent the first day mostly with my family, I have other people ive talked to, but im not bale to plan going out with them so I end up walking campus alone and I genuinely feel like a loser. I dont know what to do but I really just want people to hang out with

Hey all, Day 2 and just curious if anyone has prior experience of what to do as a transfer during this week. Keeping myself busy hanging out and trying Gracie's (huge improvement from community college food), But was curious if there's anything specific I should check out? All the orientation stuff seems to be heavily geared towards the "I have not done 2 years of college yet" crowd. My roommates are all returning students so should be here within the next couple days.

Sick of my student hours getting cut, my wage increase getting barred, my financial aid and scholarships getting cut, my department funding getting cut, watching my great department professors lose jobs, etc etc etc.

RIT can scream financial difficulties until it's blue in the face but I know I'm going to see balloon Ritchie everywhere next week.

You want to save money? Cut the stupid balloon budget.

im trying to download the ics file for my new classes this upcoming semester. however, every time i click on the download button, it says "You do not currently have any course or final exam events on your calendar to download." this is definitely not the case because there are literally classes on the calendar 😭. i'm wondering if this is happening to anyone else? idk if it might have something to do with me being on the waitlist for a class, but i really have no clue what to do.

I’m a new student at RIT, I come from KC MO where there’s a pretty decent hardcore/punk scene. Are there communities on or near campus for hardcore shows/events?

Hello! Rit freshman here, I was wondering about any Warhammer or mtg clubs around?

From what I can observe right now, it appears a bunch of items got a 20 cent hike, and some got hit worse, with a 1$ hike on my favorite budget salad bowl at Cantina

It also appears that for the crossroads Asian bowl, a 1.59$ rice surcharge is now applied compared to rice being free last year

Honestly I can't really complain because RIT price gouging is like finding water in an ocean, but just wondering if anyone else noticed other things related to this as well

Hi. Parent here. My daughter switched her major to MechE and does not have a Windows machine. I'm only familiar with Mac/Apple devices. I don't know what makes software like CAD and SolidWorks machine-intensive and I don't know the windows terminology when it comes to processors, GPUs, etc. So please talk to me like a dummy and tell me what specs we need to look for when shopping for a laptop.

I've read the KGCOE and Campus Store recommendations, so I have the official list — what I can't get from a webpage is what actually happens day to day. What are you using now, and what do you wish you'd bought instead? Anything that seemed fine in the store and turned out to be a mistake?

I'd like it to last her the next four years, so I'd rather go a bit above the current minimum. Budget is flexible -- $1,500 is fine if the specs are right, and I can go to $2,500 if there's a real reason. (But she doesn't need a gaming/maximalist laptop.)

She's second year, three semesters away from first scheduled co-op.

Thank you!

Hello, I need to go to Batavia to check out an E bike I wanna buy to work on and use, but I have no car and taxi there is like 100 bucks, so pleeeease anyone help me out.

(RESOLVED)

What actually happens during this week? Like I’m reading all these emails and the website and such and it lowkey looks tiring as hell. Do I need a backpack or anything? Also for honors orientation, what do I need to bring for the camp day event? Not trying to go into anything underprepared.

My Courses opened courses today but I don’t see Syllabi for any of my courses. Wondering if I am looking in the wrong place or if the courses are opened before any content is posted. I had read that they are posted a week before class.

It’s my second year attending RIT and I chose to switch majors from computer science to graphic design. I wasn’t able to get housing so I’m planning to commute. Does anyone know if there was any requirement to show up for anything during orientation week given my circumstances?
