GamderGal, please note that at the 6th year mark RIT has 21% fewer graduates than RPI. Even the big SUNY schools do better than 63%, and they have very mobile populations. I considered RIT for my daughter, but a 63% six year graduation rate worried me, not because my kid was likely to drop out, but because others would be and for what reason. . .

I am a bit pro-RPI because I graduated (Ph.D) in 1990. My experience is too long ago to help you get a sense of the campus, but I loved the Victorian architecture of Troy (a very walkable city), biking the river to Albany, hiking the Adirondacks, and the intensity of the work.
