…I think orange is an ugly color.

Other than that, I've decided that RIT is the place for me.

Here's why I made my decision:

I had 4 schools to choose from: RIT, Rose Hullman, Rutgers, and Stevens Institute of Technogoly.

Rose Hullman was an awesome school. It had almost anything I could want. Very good engeneering school. Unfortunately, they offered barely any financial aid. Hell, I'd have to take a loan for my laptop! That, coupled with the fact that it's way out of the way (and the fact that there are barely any girls there :P), made it an unfortunately bad choice.

Stevens also had a lot to offer. Another of those "Institute of Technology" schools, it could have been nice. However, the campus is very small, and I don't think it can offer the kind of stuff RIT can, because RIT simply has more campus space to put stuff.

Rutgers is a nice school. A lot bigger than RIT. But since it doesn't specialize in technology, it can't offer the kind of stuff as can a school dedicated to technology.

In the end, RIT won me over. It has the positives of all 3 of my other choices, with practically none of the negatives. They've got labs up the wazoo, hell, on my tour I saw a fully operational nanotech lab. Plus, they've got a good hockey team, best damn sport in the world.

So, RIT wins. Thanks to DF for reminding me to apply there, it was by far the best choice. :D
