Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute - Troy, New York

0 star if possible. Shirley Ann Jackson was the worst president and the administration could not be any worse. Very expensive, professor smart but doesn’t know how to teach (at least for my major), doesn’t care about students mental health, arch program is a scam, troy is a pothole, reconsider your mental health, social life and student loan before apply and prep to transfer. And if you didn’t register your car DO NOT PAY THE TICKET FORM THEM LOL.

I go here so I'm obligated to give it a 5 star review. This is a very good STEM school, but if you want to go here for a non-STEM major, you may want to reconsider, since the best courses and professors here are in STEM. This college is also very expensive, so apply for financial aid! The coursework is very difficult but also rewarding. The community is very tight-knit and close. This is a smaller college in Troy, NY, so there is a lot to do on and off campus (barring COVID times). The campus is quite pretty and safe from my experience.

Another overpriced private school with a bulbous, do-nothing administration. Please go to a more affordable, higher quality school and don’t waste your time with RPI.

I had a wonderful time at RPI. The campus had some beautiful older building with some more modern architecture interspersed into it. The food was good and the people there were very friendly. If you like engineering or computer science then RPI has a great atmosphere for that. They have many cool facilities including a wind tunnel so its a great spot if you want to do aero.

Overall, I had a wonderful experience.

Regardless of it being a rainy day, you could still see the overall beautiful nature of the campus. You can tell they care about their students with the amount of resources they offer them, and they care about their safety just as much as academics. Wonderful school overall and I look forward to going there.
