Anyways, I have relatives close by to RIT and RPI, with my grandma and grandpa living close to Utica and some second cousins I just met living less than an hour away from Rochester.

I also applied to RPI but I haven't yet seriously considered it, pending a review from a family friend whose currently attending.

I can tell you, the Stonybrook of 10 years ago is certainly not the Stonybrook of today, the campus is very nice from what I saw at the open house, although I hear it still is a ghost town on weekends and it has a high miority population(not a problem for me at all considering I live in Flushing, Queens).

Also a couple specific questions about RIT and RPI(if anyone knows about RPI):

Are freshman allowed to have cars?
Did you have trouble finding loans/scholarships?
I realize its about an 8 hour drive to the city, but how about by train or airplane(price of tickets?)?

At RPI:
Freshman ARE allowed to have cars.
It's only about 2 hours from the city from RPI (and about 6 from RIT)
Got loans easily.

Freshman are allowed to have cars at RIT also. Getting loans and scholarships is very easy and RIT gives grants to several students. There are a lot of RIT specific scholarships at www.fastweb.com. I've never lived outside of westeren NY so I can't help you with the transportation questions.
