The backgrounds and interests of RIT students contribute in many ways to the quality of campus life. RIT attracts students from all 50 states and more than 95 countries around the world, providing a learning environment rich in diversity in classrooms, residence halls, and everywhere else on campus. A number of campus organizations and student services focus on the unique needs and interests of minority, deaf, and international students at RIT. You’ll have plenty of opportunity to interact with a mind-expanding mix of people. The Center for Religious Life at RIT reflects the range of religions that are practiced on campus. With representatives of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, regular services at either the campus Interfaith Center or nearby places of worship,  and religion-oriented campus groups, our students quickly find a new home for their spiritual life.More than 1,100 deaf and hard-of-hearing students share classes and campus facilities with hearing students at RIT. Deaf students communicate in a variety of ways—through speaking, speech reading, signed English, and American Sign Language. Many hearing students learn sign language through the RIT sign program and by taking credit-bearing courses. RIT boasts the largest staff of interpreters of any university in the United States, with more than 100 full and part-time interpreters on campus. |
