URochester is generally ranked better and is more selective. It’s a top regarded school. It’s smaller than RIT but costs more. The science/STEM programs are great, including engineering. I have a friend who goes there; says there’s a good mix of students in terms of interests; she has lots of pre-med friends but also some more humanities majors.

RIT is cheaper but larger. It’s an institute of technology so most of the people will be engineers or have some sort of STEM focus vs a mix of humanities, STEM, life sciences at UR. RIT is ranked lower in general, but it’s specialization in engineering probably brings its engineering rank up.
