[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter was seriously considering RIT until she saw the 4 year and 6 year graduation rates being under 50%. That just seems ridiculous. [/quote]

The stats I found suggest a six year graduation rate between mid 60 and mid 80 percent with an average around mid 70 percent.

Some of RIT’s programs are five years with the co-op component so a four year graduation rate is less meaningful.

At least in Engineering it is not a school where students can just cruise once they’re in; the material is tough and the workload is demanding.

I suspect but have no specific evidence other than what seems a fairly high admit rate that RIT may be more willing than average to let students on the borderline try to succeed rather than rejecting them outright.

The location is kind of isolated. The campus is, for better or worse, more modern than traditional. If you’re from FL the winter may be striking. For someone from around here is is not like moving to the Yukon.
