I know that just asking peoples opinions isn't reall y the right way to choose a college but I wanted to start doing research also. I have more in mind then just going for my major. I want a college that will open me up to the real world, and give me good work expirience. I know that would be the case of RIT with their co-op program during summers. But I have heard alot of people talk about the colleges in different ways.

As for what I am looking for in the college totally, I am not too sure. I like RIT because it is close to home and it will cost less because I can stay at home. But I also want to be more independent. I am just not sure about clarkson, because I will be so far from home and everything in FIRST and I am used to the Rochester FIRST community with the what is it about 20 teams now compared to the one team in potsdam. I am deeply interested in mentoring teams and helping out so I don't want to leave that behind.But I also want a good education, I like the idea of a better teacher student relationship at clarkson compared to how RIT has more vast student body.

I will try talking to Kim O'Toole, I never knew she attended RIT. I am aware of clarkson because of how she always is wearing a clarkson hoodie when I see her.
