@snowdog, yes, the Radisson on campus, for one night, through Hotwire (I didn’t know that it was the Radisson until I purchased it.) I believe that it is a room which has not been upgraded though, as we found out that it is for a double and a pull out couch, which the Radisson does not have on its site as a choice (would have preferred the two beds.) I just checked on Travelocity, and the Radisson still has rooms available for one night. You might want to check. I tried to link it, but cannot figure out how on this site.

I’m jealous of your flight - I’ve been searching for flights that are more affordable, even went out as far as Buffalo, but I’m not seeing anything.

@12dandelion thank you for your information! Did you happen to attend the local “Accepted Students Reception”? There is one in Natick, not TOO far away. Even though we are attending the Accepted Students Day I felt a bit frustrated at the “accepted students day” I just attended in Chicago - it only went from 11:00 - 2:30, and there were too many overlapping panels - I am glad that the RIT day begins earlier.

Also, the museum program there looks amazing. My daughter is currently admitted to New Media Design, but would be happy in Graphics as well. She wants to go into Motion Design.

Snowdog, we chose the department luncheon as well. 12dandelion, thank you for mentioning the tunnels on the dorm tour. My daughter has painted a few murals at her high school, and was excited to hear about them at RIT.

12dandelion, is there anywhere either on campus or nearby that you would recommend where we could eat a late dinner, or a dinner prior to our leaving Rochester? Fun and good tasting. I want our D to love the idea of Rochester! (She LOVED Chicago, but the fit of the school was not as good.)

Thank you!
