Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) Reviews and Ratings

• No idea

• I found my accommodation off-campus, and I found it through a WhatsApp group. My monthly rent is $550, not much facilities, just a hall and kitchen bathroom. Not many challenges, I easily found it. It is 4 miles from my uni, and there is a bus every 30 mins which the university provides. Just look on the internet or join some random RIT WhatsApp groups, and you can easily find accommodations near RIT.

• 500 - 1000 USD is the per-month rental cost.

• I opted for off-campus accommodation, as it is definitely cheaper than that available on campus. So we Indian students of the 2019 intake formed a WhatsApp group and decided to try and find accommodation together. Most of us were in touch with the university's team for arranging accommodation - called "KTH Accommodation." They got in touch with us - including me - and enquired about preferences before allocating us with rooms. I had no problems with them, as processes were smooth.
• Having my room contract with KTH Accommodation, I was paying SEK 4500 rent. This was with an attached bathroom, a table with two chairs and a bed. From the second year onwards, a lot of Indian students changed contracts and moved over to sign with the city's local student accommodation monopoly company - known as "Stockholms Studentsbostader" (SSSB)—albeit trying to stay within the same accommodation campus since their rates were cheaper than those of KTH Accommodation.
• My accommodation was at the next metro station and a bit of a walk away from the university - called "Lappis." Most of the Indian students stayed in three different student accommodations - either in Lappis, "Strix," or "Teknikringen" (the latter for those staying on campus), if I remember rightly.
• My advice for incoming students would be to try and enter the SSSB queue straight away so that you'll be able to get a room on one of their contracts sooner than KTH Accommodation's. Plus, the latter only allows for a one-plus-one-year basis, while you can stay on an SSSB contract as long as you prove you have courses you're still studying.

• I chose Apex Apartments, an off-campus accommodation closest to RIT. Rent is $900-$1100/month with utilities, gym, and laundry included.
• Found via Discord groups and online searches.
• Challenges included limited availability and coordinating with roommates. Start early and check lease terms. Apex is 5-10 minutes from campus and popular among Indian students.

The program I selected is extremely rigorous and well-known, which will help me get a quality job upon graduation. My financial aid award was excellent, and the school is generally very good, making it a clear choice. My college is a journey of discovery - learning more about myself, my field, and my future. While there have been some challenges along the way, the college has helped me to grow as a person and I feel equipped with the skills I need to be successful, in my field and life. Everything is available to me at my school - there is no class I cannot take, no research I cannot do, and no activity I cannot participate in. Everything is there for me.

Because the course focuses on data analytics. I had an admit from Northeastern a year ago but it's information systems degree is mainly technical based

Full tution fee wave off and decent stipend.

RIT is ambitious towards technical grounds as well as all other streams, it has a wide range of students coming from different backgrounds and work together on innovation and building.
