Greg,

Yes RPI has been called many things and internally we used to have a saying being "Tute screwed" after an exam.

All in all it's agreat school and it even has new improved facilities since I was there. I'm a MechE grad in 1996 and the re-founding Father of the Chi Phi Fraternity on the corner of Sage and 15th St. Directly across from the Student Union.

Just a comparison though RPI Engineering is highly Theory based and great for deep thinkers and teachin all the proper principles. I'm in the masters of Product Development at RIT currently and RIT is more applications based.

Either way there's alot of great schools on the east coast.

Happy Holidays All!
