Top-notch research university with a big bill. RIT's innovation, certainly in some departments, is at or nearly on par with the best in the country, and it's certainly renowned for it's computer science and computer engineering, but don't forget that Rochester has one of the top two largest populations of deaf people in the country, and NTID offers unparalleled access to education for deaf and hard-of-hearing students. Interpreters come out of here for American Sign Language (ASL) with the best skills in the world. The only criticism: the bizarre 'modern' art stationed around the campus. Is that sentinel statue really necessary?
