<p>Contrary to what XtremePower believes, RIT is a well respected school for engineering and you could do well with a degree from either place. The cultures of the schools are different. There is a higher percentage of techie kids and fewer clubs and other social activities at RIT. There are twice as many male undergrads as female (which could explain why the students are spending a lot of time gaming). While there are some very large classes at PSU they are typically for introductory classes or those that satisfy gen ed requirements. Once you get into the upper level courses the classes will be smaller.</p>
<p>One caveat-- Half of the majors in Penn State’s College of Engineering have enrollment caps which means there are minimum GPAs to be guaranteed admittance. If you are a strong student or are interested in one of the other departments that shouldn’t be an issue. Typically most of the students get into the program they desire.</p>
