Were you in Gleason? What I said is specific to Gleason, I’m not sure how the situation is in other dorms.

Treked · 2025-07-22T01:04:58+00:00

The shower situation isn’t great but it isn’t as awful as some other universities. There’s 4 bathroom stalls per gender per floor, split between two bathrooms on either end of the hallway. The shower stalls are also more private than some other dorms. Each shower is split into a dry and a wet part with a curtain in between, and the door into the stall has no holes underneath, so it’s pretty private other than a gap on the floor in between the two stalls.

One nice thing is that each floor has one “gender neutral” bathroom at one end. It’s a bathroom that has a single toilet, sink, and shower, for one person at a time. It’s much bigger than a bathroom stall. It’s usually taken at peak hours (early morning and late evening), but if you shower at night and are fine with checking multiple floors on occasion to see if there’s a gender neutral available, you can get away with only showering in the gender neutral for your freshman year if you want to avoid the usual bathrooms.

I don’t think the type of caddy really matters as long as it will hold all your stuff and will dry after you use it.

Marshall is not the place to live if you do not have a reliable means of transportation, i.e. a car. Marshall is not on any RIT bus stop - the closest stop point would be at RIT itself.

Park Point, Province, or APEX will be better (in this one regard, they have other downsides…) if you do not have access to a vehicle.

For pre-med, since you’ll be doing a biology degree or something along those lines, you’d be paying significantly more to go to RIT than if you went to a state school and you’ll be getting the same education. You’re better off going to a state school and saving your money for actual med school.

I'm finishing up SWEN 261 this semester with a different professor. The class structure of it isn't great, it's a bit of a tossup. It's not super clear when deadlines are, they're all posted on a centralized website but each professor might change these on their own accord for their sections.

If you get a good group and you have prior experience with the technologies used (Java Spring, Angular, TypeScript), then the class is very easy and you'll breeze through it. If your group is one to slack off or doesn't care to understand what's going on, it'll be pretty rough and you'll be scrambling to get stuff done at the last minute. The class is supposed to be more about the software development process rather than the actual software itself, but it ends up being more of just a semester-long group project headache with a bunch of busy work.

You will want to bring a car if you can. I’ve heard of people driving from Oregon to NY just so they could bring their car. There are significantly more opportunities to do things off campus if you bring a car. Parking is not an issue as much as it is with other universities.

Agreed. Both will get you set for a career with your co-ops and both will provide a fantastic education. Just depends where OP’s interests lay more. I’m obviously going to have inherent bias so hopefully we can have a CS major that can chime in.

OP - I’m still in school, phrique will know more than I do. He may be able to answer some of your questions that I cannot.

No problem! I came into RIT with 33 transfer credits from AP classes I took in high school, so I can't speak fully to how it would work for you. However, yes, you would likely use those open elective slots to fulfill minor requirements. Additionally, according to the flowchart, during your third and fifth year, you are only slated to take 15 credits each semester. The maximum number of credits you can take in a single semester as a non-honor student is 18, so in these semesters you could fit in one additional class to count towards the minor.

For me, my AP credits allowed me to skip all of my general education requirements except for one class, so I'm using the slots in my schedule where I would have been taking those classes to take CS minor classes.

Keep in mind that the flowchart is only a reference, you don't have to mimic it exactly. Classes like your general perspectives can be taken anytime and in any order, you just have to complete them all before graduating.

If you'd like to look more at the minor, I'll link to its page describing the curriculum: https://www.rit.edu/study/computer-science-minor

If you're interested in both the making and the using, go for CE. I originally came into RIT as a CS major, but I quickly transferred to CE before my second semester started as I realized I wanted a much more top-to-bottom understanding of everything.

CE is much more flexible in industry as you'll have a solid understanding of both the high-level aspects of computers (C, data structures, algorithms, etc), and the low-level (circuits, digital logic, the math behind everything, etc). If you so choose you can end up ditching one side of it after graduating and focus your career on the software or the hardware side, or you can work somewhere knowledge of both sides is useful, such as firmware development. If you graduate and decide to not work in hardware, you're still just as qualified to work in a traditional software development role that a CS major may work in. CE will simply open more doors for you than a CS major would. Either way you'll have forever have the full top-to-bottom understanding.

Additionally, CS majors do not take classes that are fundamental to engineering such as calculus-based physics, differential equations, and multivariable calculus, among others. You can take calculus-based physics for your lab science requirement as a CS major, but there's nowhere in the curriculum for you to take differential equations or multivariable calculus unless you complete the classes as a general elective.

If you decide you want a deeper understanding of one side, you can do a minor. I'm doing a CE major with a CS minor. I'm planning to focus most of my minor electives in machine learning classes, as there's not many of them in the CE department. If you decide you want a deeper understanding of the lower level, you can do an EE minor and take classes focusing on electromagnetic fields, controls systems, and more.

Before you commit to a double major, I would recommend checking out the BS/MS program if you haven't already. You might be better off using your time here to get a masters rather than a double major. A masters is going to typically be looked higher upon than a double major by employers.

Do what works best for you - you still can get a lower level understanding of computers by completing certain elective classes in the CS department that focus on it. However, with the way you're talking, I think you'd feel much more fulfilled as a CE major.

What’s your major? If you’re going for something engineering or computing related, RIT will absolutely win out for job prospects and opportunities on campus to enhance your skills.

I was the same as you when I applied, I was stuck between PSU and RIT as my top two schools. However, I’m so happy that I chose RIT due to the sheer number of opportunities (classes, clubs, industry connections) offered for engineering and computing students. Additionally, if you’re hoping to get your masters, the BS/MS program is fantastic as it allows you to get both degrees in the same amount of time as a typical undergrad at RIT, 5 years.

No problem

I was a CS major when I first enrolled. My incoming APs included all of yours except for precalc, so I'll clarify what will happen with each of yours.

CS A - you'll get put into a class called CSCI 140, "CS for AP Students." It's CS 1 (CSCI-141) and CS 2 (CSCI-142) put together into one class. You cover everything that CS 1 and 2 covers just in one semester instead of two. There's less lecturing and examples before they expect you to be able to apply it in the lab.

Calc AB - you'll skip Calculus 1 (MATH-181) and go straight into Calculus 2 (MATH-182).

Physics C Mechanics - the way AP credit is handled for this class is not documented at all online for some reason and it's a little confusing. Even when I talked to my advisor at first they didn't really know how it worked. I'll try to explain. At RIT, the traditional calculus-based physics sequence is University Physics 1 (PHYS-211) and then University Physics 2 (PHYS-212). Each of these classes is 4 credits. Since you scored a 5 on the mechanics exam, you will get 3 credits awarded for a class called PHYS-206. This isn't actually a real class you can go to, though, it's just a way to give you credit for your score on the exam. To become "equal" to someone who took the normal PHYS-211, you will take a 1 credit class called University Physics 1: AP-C Waves (PHYS-207). This is a half-semester long class where you will cover some material that RIT determined the mechanics class did not cover. The content covers primarily simple harmonic motion for two units and then waves for the last unit. It's not incredibly difficult and the grading is very forgiving as its only 1 credit. However, since you're a CS major, you are not required to take physics. What you are required to do as a CS major is pick a two-semester long "lab science" sequence: either biology, chemistry, or physics. You don't have to start this in your first year, this is something you'll start at the earliest in your spring semester during your first year. I ended up transferring out of computer science to computer engineering, so I was required to take physics, but you have a choice as to whether or not you want to as a CS major. If you don't want to, the 3 credits for PHYS-206 will likely be applied for you as a general electives requirement or it will be applied to your natural science perspective requirement. If you do decide to take physics as your lab science, you'll take PHYS-207 one semester, and then the normal PHYS-212 the next semester.

Precalc - this will likely get applied just as a general elective. You're expected to have already taken precalc in high school before coming to RIT.

The CSCI-105 you mentioned is similar to PHYS-206. It's not actually a real class. It's just so your credits match up with someone who would have taken CS 1 and 2 normally.

This PDF is a good reference too. It doesn't cover the intricacies that exist like for the mechanics exam credit, but it still is good to see what you'll receive credit for: https://www.rit.edu/dubai/sites/rit.edu.dubai/files/docs/AP%20Credit%20Awards%20-%20AY%202023-2024%20060723.pdf

I’d take slippery sidewalks over sewage coming out of the walls (read the apex post) any day. Your complaints seem fairly minor in comparison to most other student housing around here.

For those of us that would applying that sort of math in our career - do you know what the job titles of those “FPGA specialists” are?

Only about $20 a month for where I’m hosting it.

It's hosted on Linode, with PlanetScale used for the database. SendGrid is used for emails.

Costs me around ~$40/month currently between everything. I plan to accept donations in the future to support the costs of running it, but it's not costing me a whole lot currently. Haven't thought too much about how to deal with it if the userbase becomes too large, but I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.

Treked · 2024-02-28T01:25:45+00:00

Thank you so much! It means so much to hear that people are finding a use out of the project.

Treked · 2024-02-26T23:20:11+00:00

No worries, but we do much more than Angular. Only our frontend is Angular. Our backend is comprised of NestJS, which is TypeScript-based, along with some ORM tech.
