Re: Clarkson VS. RIT

John,
First off. get back to work. I know you are probably reading this during MY CIM class. (starts in 10 minutes).

Now to your question. Both schools have their pro's & con's.
RIT has lots of programs & many majors. You can do the 2+2 program with MCC & many of the classes you have taken here & received credit for will transfer. At RIT you will have the oppertunity to see many people you know, stay involved with FIRST or something bigger (yes there are other programs other than FIRST). You will have a support group from our school, our team, & our mentors.

Clarkson can give you something RIT cannot. Change. You can get away & figure out who you want to be just as much as what you want to be. It is a bit colder there in the artic circle but you know how to zip up a coat. Clarkson offers programs other than FIRST also. Look into scholarships, We have had a huge number of GRR grades go to Clarkson on scholarships. Talk with some of our former students. See what they thought.

Go and visit both schools, if you need someone to take you let me know. Create an opportunity to make your own decision. You are a smart kid & should be able to figure out what you are looking for. As for clicking a box and voting on a school, that is really up to you.

Now get back to work!
