Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) Courses and Fees 2025

• The difficulty of the courses themselves is, in my opinion, very subjective. I think the real difficulty is probably adjusting more to a lot of independent self-study and time management between your individual assignments, group project/activities and your own individual studies for assessments/final exams. It was definitely a mix of both for certain courses for sure.
• Up to 4 classes would take place a day - a full day's classes would be, say, 8:15-10:00, 10:15-12:00, 13:15-15:00, and 15:15-17:00. But of course your schedule varied each day and it was definitely dependent on which track you specialised in.
• For the 2019 intake, our batch size was probably nearly 100 students. From the second semester, when we all split into our different tracks, we were then probably 30.
• There were nine of us Indian students enrolled in the 2019 MSc SEE program at KTH on a full-time basis; including those with common courses and who were on exchange/Erasmus programs, that went up to say in the range of fifteen to twenty.

• Once again, the following are 2019 numbers.
• I paid SEK 310,000 for the entire two years (SEK 77,500 paid each semester).
• My monthly expenses would be approximately SEK 9,000. A rough breakdown of this would be SEK 4000 for rent, SEK 800 for all public transport means, SEK 2000 for food, SEK 300 for healthcare insurance and the rest would be either miscellaneous expenses or kept aside for emergencies.

• The Packaging Science curriculum at RIT balances theory and practical learning, with a moderate to challenging difficulty level. Classes focus on real-world skills, enhanced by labs, projects, and experienced faculty.
• With 15-30 students per class and about 20-30% Indian students, it fosters diversity. Classes run 8 AM-5 PM, 2-3 daily. Positives include industry relevance and facilities; negatives involve an intense pace.

• Fee was charged semester wise, based on number of credits. My monthly expenses are around 1200-1500$ including rent and expenses.
• Per credit fee is around $2300 and college also offers a lot of scholarships to deserving students.
• Rents of the accommodation could be expensive. But Rochester has a lot of cheaper options as well. Transportation is free as Rochester
• Institute has its own shuttle services which cover the whole city and Indian grocery stores and Walmart are all nearby.

I have just been here for one semester but there is a course which was added recently and I liked it. Scholarship IST: it focuses on improving communication skills which will be important for a data analyst.

Around 100000-12000$ for the whole degree. This does not include the scholarship. If you live outside campus you'll save a bunch of money. One can also work part-time and earn about 1000$ a month which can easily cover rent and living expenses.

For PhDs their could be a better system that could be designed.

Around $60000 per year tution fee.
