Having friends all around campus is what makes RIT so special. Making connections all over campus was my favorite part of my first year. Especially with COLA, there are so many events and opportunities to meet the faculty and fellow students of the college.
What do you most enjoy or appreciate about your RIT, College of Liberal Arts, or your major experience so far?
"The thing I really appreciate about RIT is that it is such a welcoming and supportive community. Especially here in COLA, the faculty and staff take their time to make connections with each student. This allows for opportunities to participate in fun and more serious events. These events have led me to meet many people in my major some of which have developed into flourishing and exciting friendships."
What advice for success and a positive RIT experience would you give to new incoming students?
"Talk to people and do things. Coming from a communication major I know it sounds redundant but it truly is the best way to make the RIT experience that much better. Go out of your way to try something new and meet new people."
