RPI was a massive letdown. All the craziness about getting into a "good school", with a good name, came crashing down at RPI. The imbalance of investing in expensive administration, without investing in the school and facilities is painful at best. The school cost $250K for 4 years. Thats a QUARTER OF A MILLION DOLLARS, For a reasonable education that could be had at most other undergraduate engineering schools.

While I graduated with good grades, in Electrical Engineering, and in 4 years, it made me hate education, and resent everything that RPI represents. The university president is an embarrassment to the school, and its filthy, un-maintained run down condition.

The student body is mostly disinterested in being there as well. You don't meet too many happy students at RPI, rather, disinterested kids who just want to leave as soon as they can.

Its no wonder that the endowment is down 40% in the past decade. I will never give them another dime.
