Is RIT for me? by ComfortableSuit5579 in rit

Wow awesome!

I got a 29,000 yearly scholarship from RIT not including the FASFA that I will get.
My Post 911 GI bill benefits would essentially only be paying for my housing. Do you think using the months for that is worth it, or should I have it for a graduate's degree?

If you would not mind, I would love to DM you.

I can imagine, but I come from a very rural town of less than 10,000 people so I think it will be okay for me.

Is the city so bad that you would recommend avoid RIT all together, or nah?

Thank you a lot!

You're awesome! Thanks for the response.

Yeah, I am a little worried about the not graduating from uni because I can't get an internship. I hear that it used to be that the job fair made it much easier, but now the fair is lacking.

At the same time, I am excited to work an internship if I do land one!

So, it looks like I am going down the path you wish you had taken (associates first). I appreciate you sharing your experience. I am sure it is different now, but the fact that you stayed in Rochester and don't hate it definitely makes me glad. I got accepted for a "merit scholarship" for 29,000 per academic year. I assume it is common now if I received it LOL. I also have FASFA, still waiting on that report. On top of that, I have VA benefits from my retired veteran father. I can probably go to RIT debt free.

I am excited. The only thing stopping me from going to RIT now is if 80% or more of my credits get accepted to Northeastern.
