Troy sucks. I mean its not literally as bad as a factory churning out brains or whatever but its not great. NYC is 2 hrs away though, and Montreal too. Albany is a half hr away but I don’t really know much about it.

There really isn’t much reason to go into Troy, aside from once in a while. It’s not really a place you would want to go into anyway, and the campus is pretty self contained.

On the campus, there is definetly grass and trees. I visited on a pretty nice day and it was really nice looking (I thought). Infact, I thought it was #2-3 out of the 10 colleges I visited as far as nice campuses go. Number 1 would have been Tufts, and Lehigh was probably #2.

The point is - there is a campus. It’s not like a school like Drexel where its meshed with the city so your in the city whether you like it or not. RPI is more removed from Troy just because most everything you need is on campus.
