My experience at RIT did not leave me with anything good to say about their
co-op system. Yes, they do force most programs to find co-ops, but the overall
quality of the co-op office was poor. I will say that forcing students to find a
co-op (and giving them credited time away from school) is beneficial in the end
because generally the students have some work experience upon graduation. That
said, the co-op services at RIT were extremely unhelpful in aquiring any
opportunities, and the professionals that work in the department would often
glaze over important services such as resume review. The campus recruiting was
also dissapointing because RIT is often hyped as being a big-name type of private
university. The job fairs (coordinated by the co-op and career services office)
were a lesson in wasting time, and the alumni directory is all but useless
because of the lack of school affiliation. Employers do seem to hold RIT in high
regards, yet, as the job focus has gravitated away from the north-east, fewer
employers seem impressed. The career placement resources are non-existant at
RIT...you're completely on your own when you graduate.
