Adding to @Aimlesscat1 note that Amtrak stops in Rochester - There is also a bus service that operates during breaks that picks up at locations on the RIT campus and brings kids to several locations called My Bus Home. It was started by a woman who had children in college (PA I think) that lacked transportation. It grew to include several schools and destinations. My D took it home most school breaks. Looking at your list of schools I’m guessing you may be from NJ or environs. We picked D up in Bridgewater but I think there are also stops in the PA suburbs.
My D is a 2019 RIT grad and LOVED the school. She was an Industrial Design major and loved the mix of students. If you’re looking for a big city feel RIT doesn’t have it but Rochester proper (which to me doesn’t doesn’t have a big city feel) isn’t hard to get to as there is a pretty good bus system. Basic big box stores are on the local bus route as well. D didn’t have a car util she moved off campus her junior year but always managed.
Best wishes in your process. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
