RIT People - I work for a real estate company. A couple years ago we hired an RIT videography student to make a commercial for one of our buildings. We're looking to see if there are any talented & creative students looking to make a couple bucks for a few hours of their time. Would need to provide the camera and/or drone. Last student we used borrowed it from the school. If you're interested PM me.

Next milestone, 30,000 brain cells total across all subscribers.

Fun fact: A long time ago, I made an earlier milestone post on another account. Since then, if we assume exponential growth (which is probably inaccurate), the subscriber count has been increasing by almost 16.9% per year. If this were to continue, we would reach 100,000 subscribers just before the start of the academic year for 2032-2033.

I do agree RIT is playing 4D chess with us, yes. But they're eating the pieces. They're just eating the pieces and they might eat the board next. We're telling them about strategies and different ways they can play to actually win the game but they are still set on eating the pieces. I worry for my chessboard.

Does anybody know the hours for the college of liberal arts building? I am looking to practice a presentation I have, and am not sure how late the building is open until.

hello all! i'm doing a project analysing correlation between mental health and social media usage and need more data. responses are anonymous, and it's very short, shouldn't take more than a minute or two to complete, any help would be much appreciated!!! thank you!

title. i applied for EA with a fee waiver on a whim a month ago, and i just got my acceptance. i have no idea what the US is like, so any and all information would be appreciated.

I’m a junior at a stem focused school and I’ve been contemplating transferring somewhere with a better art program. I’m looking into furniture design with an additional interest in ceramics and I was wondering if anyone had input on the furniture design BFA degree at RIT? Is the program good, are the people friendly, do you like it? Also would it be impossible to transfer into a BFA program from a BA in social sciences? Thank you!!

Where is a good spot on campus where I can stay overnight to work on my finals?

Is any engineering major enrolled in or planning to enroll in the +1MBA program? Does it change your college duration from 5 to 6 years or is a co-op semester used instead for MBA classes. Any information is much appreciated!=)

Hi everyone. I'm transferring to RIT this spring for my Cybersecurity Bachelor. I'm currently looking for a roommate for off-campus housing. Ideally, I’d like to find someone who's also a student and shares similar interests in tech or Cybersecurity, but I'm open to anyone who's responsible, respectful, and easygoing. Feel free to dm me.

I know its kind of a long shot, but I've recently accepted a co-op in Boston starting in January, and holy moly housing is expensive over there. I figured I'd reach out here and see if anyone else is in the same boat, and would be interested in rooming together, or even just meeting up and doing cool things together.

Anyone knows how could I join the soccer team?

I'm transferring to RIT the upcoming spring, and I'm planning to stay off campus but I don't have an idea about apartments there. What could be good and affordable apartments to stay in near the campus?

Are there RIT hockey fans here? Because what the hell is going on with that team this year? Is Wilson’s time at RIT wrapping up? I’m an alumni of 2019. They were still a decent hockey team back then but now, what is going on?

Shoutout to RIT for not telling anyone about the new schedule until 3pm on a Monday

In my high school, I had to come to every class day even if I didn't have a final. For RIT, can I leave after my last final or do I have to stay until a certain day?

Idk how the other buildings in Global Village are, but in 400 there are no disability door buttons besides the one that opens the door directly into the building. There’s not one for the door into the hallway where the rooms are and I don’t think there’s one for opening the door going OUT into GV square, there’s only a button for going in. Maybe the other floors are different but I don’t understand. I feel like RIT likes to brag about being inclusive but I’ve noticed a lot of things that are inaccessible or have had some very out of the way addition to make them accessible. Elevators are always out, theres only one accessible entrance to booth/gannet/magic that’s facing the interior of campus, the ramps and hills that are too steep to get up in a wheelchair and I have seen wheelchair users get stuck at. Also not having the door buttons is a disadvantage to literally everyone. I see the janitors trying to take out the garbage and have to find some way to get out of the hallway with the giant cart thing bc there’s no button. Even if your hands are just full it’s helpful to have the door button 😭 is there a way to like, suggest they add ADA buttons that isn’t just making a Reddit post about it?

Hi,

Any of you guys had Professor Brendan Rooney for math. If so, what was it like?

Hi, I'm a freshmen who recently just entered. I was just wondering if it was normal for the showers (and it seems the sinks too) to have no hot water before 7 AM. I just wanted to try waking up a bit earlier and do more work but the showers, even at the hottest setting, are bone-chillingly cold at Gibson. Just wondering if it's a problem I have to report or something. I'm on the 3rd floor of Gibson.

Edit: Nice to see the engagement, honestly only expected 1-2 comments. At the time I made this post, I had the water going for around 20 minutes when I originally came in at 6 AM. After that, it started to warm up until at around 6:30 it was at a bearable temperature. Planning to ask my RA about it tomorrow because I've been busy with a lot of stuff.

Hello everyone, I was wondering if any of you can suggest cheap ways to commute to Penfield from RIT. I do not have a car yet and RTS takes 2hr 45 minutes. It will be around 5 pm every day of the week from RIT-Penfield. Hence, uber is way too expensive, RTS is too long. Would pay if I can share a ride with someone from Penfield on a similar schedule.

Also looking for better/cheaper ideas. PS: My lease ends in May 2025 so I’ll get a place nearby or a car by then. Thanks:)

Does anyone in here by any chance still have CHMG 141 Exam 3 from last year so I could study? Thanks

TL:DR
For an unknown reason, eduroam is causing Bloons TD 6 to lock up on step 7 of 9, leading me to not be able to do the online events, and I'm not too sure how to bring up the issues to RIT. If anyone knows how to notify RIT or solve the BTD6 issue, let me know.

Main
So a few weeks back before Thanksgiving break, I noticed one of my games on steam acting up a bit funny (Bloons TD 6). On the loading screen, it would stop at step 7 of 9 for a long while. eventually, it would clear, but all the online events such as the boss event, odysseys, and Co-op play were restricted. I took it up to NK customer support, but nothing worked.

When Thanksgiving break came, I took my computer back home, and BTD6 worked perfectly fine there. Now that I am back on campus, BTD6 has once again decided to not connect despite my computer saying there's a strong WiFi connection. With BTD6 working at my house and not here at RIT despite strong WiFi I believe proves that something within the eduroam network is preventing connecting to ninja kiwi servers. my only problem is that I'm not the most sure on how to bring this issue up to RITs attention.

To go over known information. My computer connects just fine to eduroam. BTD6 was working fine at my house's WiFi, but not eduroam. Steam confirms that the files of BTD6 are verified. the connection between my computer and the 2 domains NK uses works. I think this leaves the network connection itself the issue. If anyone knows how to bring this up to RIT, or if they know how to fix this issue and it isn't with eduroam, please let me know.

I was told by server members to send the invite here, so I present to you the fall 25/spring 26 incoming server!

Incoming students are highly encouraged to join, as well as current students to guide these new incoming students.

I'm looking forward to meet all of you!

I'm flying back and leaving my car on campus. For reference, it's a beat up jalopy that you can only see somewhat dirty floors and receipts in when you look through the window lol

Its been nearly two months since i had applied RIT for my MS in physics for this spring intake, I still haven't got any response. Everytime I mail about the application, the response is its under department review. Will I get the admission or should i accept admission from other universities? Ps: RIT is first preference

Hello,

I'm a prospective student for the Color Science PhD and I want to know how is the experience inside that PhD. I'm looking for data beyond faculty members or curriculum. Specifically I want to know:

1. How is your experience inside that PhD?,
2. What you wanted to know before entering on that PhD?,
3. How is the process of funding / research after first year?
4. How is the housing in campus for graduate students?

Do you think that I can enter on that PhD considering that I have a BS in Math and a MSc in Scientific Computing ?

I'm a CE major who's attached at the hip to his Mac. So far I've been able to get through the year with it but it's looking like that won't be the case next year. I know nothing about Windows machines but I do know that I will, at some point in the very near future, need to purchase a laptop that runs Windows. (Sad face.)

Since this is the laptop I intend to keep for most (if not all) of my college years, how "serious" does my GPU need to be? I've talked with a couple people who said they can get by with their Xe graphics, but that doesn't sound like something strong enough for four more years of engineering coursework. What chip should I be looking at that can handle another four years of engineering work?

A big thanks in advance from a clueless Mac guy.
