Anyway, essay for a scholarship.
I am a student at the Rochester
Institute of Technology, in Rochester, New York. I am a first year
Game Design and Development Major, and I completely and utterly love
it here.
First off, RIT is a pretty famous
school. People come from around the world to attend, and it's also
home to the largest Deaf technical college in the world. Suffice to
say it's a large scale university. And yet, even with thousands of
people on campus every day, I feel like I belong, not like I'm just
another cog in a machine. The people are friendly, the campus is
lively, the weather is admittedly bad, but I'm willing to take that
tradeoff. This is just the best experience I've ever had with any
educational system, especially when it comes to everyone related to
my Game Design major. It's a rather selective program, only letting
30 people in each year until my class when it was quadrupled to 120,
so the professors all work in with small, personal classrooms where
each student gets individual attention. Not to mention it's a degree
for learning to freaking make video games! Yes, there are other
colleges that offer Game Design degrees, but not only is RIT nearby,
which is a big bonus, but it also has one of the best degrees for
Game Design. Honestly, when I was considering my choices for college,
there was just no contest. It was either go to RIT, or... well, I'm
not sure. I had my heart dead set on RIT, I worked hard through
highschool, and I made it here! If I hadn't, then I'm really not sure
what I would have done. Luckily, that never became an issue, and now
I'm here and happy. I wouldn't trade RIT for anywhere in the entire
country. This college is where I fit in, and for the next three years
I intend to call it home.
