 STUDENT COMMENTS

Right now the school is still orientated around engineering. Most jobs advertised relate only to engineers or MI- oriented business students. The professors, small class sizes, and social business students are the strength of the RPI Management program. I usually loved going to my classes.

The engineering mode contributes to a lack of creativity and excitement both in and outside the classroom. At RPI, the saying is, if engineering doesn't work out for you, you can always "hop on the 'M'-Train." Meaning, management is there for people who can't handle the "rigor" of engineering/sciences/math.

I originally came to Rensselaer to just play football but got much more than I ever expected. I am extremly happy with my decision to go to RPI because it is also preparing me to be a top candidate for a high-ranking job in my field.

The advantage that I feel I obtained from RPI was first an extremely hands on approach to learning. We learn by doing. Second, is the emphasis and integration of technology in every aspect of our college experience.
