I was looking for the perfect college experience that combines a quality education along with diverse students and college activities. That’s what I found at RIT. The university has outstanding engineering programs and supporting academic resources for deaf and hard-of-hearing students. The courses I took prepared me well for my co-op as a CAD intern at the City of Rochester, and the technical skills I gained on co-op provided a strong foundation for me to continue on for an RIT bachelor’s degree. I love the diverse community and the ability to meet people from different cultures and backgrounds.
