Strict on plagarism be carefull while doing assignments
Tips: Stressful academics and apart from this everything will be soothing in the college. Very helpful faculty members and good part-time job opportunities, one more good thing about this university is it offers co-op (CPT) which most of the universities won't support.

Focus is important to get the best results here. Apply early.
Tips: Be prepared to start hunting for internships when you arrive. If you are concerned about accommodation costs, look for off-campus options as they are cheaper. Start looking for a part-time job when you get here. The easier part-time jobs will allow you to earn in dollars and cover your rent and food expenses. Focus on your studies.

The university has portals where students can apply for internships.
Tips: Before joining RIT, students should be aware of various things, including internship opportunities, living expenses, university faculty, and the program outcome. Professors help get RA/TA positions, and that helps a student's profile stand out. There are many on-campus jobs available, including RAS and TAS, that students can apply for through the college's online portals. The professors are helpful, too. The university does a good job of letting students know about available jobs. In addition, the research experience you get as an RA or TA gives you an edge when you're applying for internships. Overall, I am fairly satisfied with my experiences here.
Dislikes (Internships): The university has portals where students can apply for internships. The university helps students with their applications and with resume building. There are also research assistantships and teaching assistantships available for students, and this research experience helps them with their future careers. Internships showcase your profile.
