For the second year, RIT is listed with the nation’s “Most
Connected Campuses,”
according to the third annual survey conducted by The
Princeton Review. The survey, which highlights 25 colleges
and universities offering the most cutting edge technology, is
available online at www.forbes.com/connected.
The Princeton Review considered the breadth of the computer
science curriculum, the sophistication of campus technology including
streaming media of classes and extracurricular offerings, availability
of school-owned digital cameras and equipment for student use,
wireless Internet access on campus and support for handheld computing.
In its analysis of RIT, The Princeton
Review states, “Come
to the Rochester Institute of Technology for what students call ‘a
great technical education with a side of liberal arts and almost
anything else that you desire.’ The school ‘utilizes
the newest and most advanced technologies,’ thanks to sponsorships
and partnerships with ‘corporate giants like Xerox, Kodak,
and Bausch & Lomb.’ ”
Also on the list are Carnegie Mellon University, Cornell University,
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Rensselaer Polytechnic
Institute and University of Pennsylvania.
