The pace is different here.

That’s the first thing I noticed when I moved to RIT. While I would have felt totally fine moseying on by, folks here would sprint from sunrise to sunset. Cultural differences, when combined with the vibrant energy of a college campus, collectively harbored this infectious sense of urgency.

I had never really spent a significant enough period of time on the East coast prior to attending RIT. Growing up in Los Angeles, this whole side of the country just seemed to me to be an amalgamation of state borders stitched together into one big historically charged quilt...

Being forced to buy an expensive meal plan can feel like highway robbery. 

With cities constantly changing as buildings are constructed, abandoned and then demolished, urban explorers work to document and preserve the culture and history of these sites long after they’re gone.

The fall leaves are turning beautiful colors — and so are the rocks.

I’m afraid of letting the people I care about down. I’ve got butterflies in my belly and the ache to prove it.

The start of any semester can be rather tumultuous. Only a few days in, we realize the arduous nature of the workload we have taken on. Expectations quake as incentives wane and some students find themselves having to choose between the responsibilities they signed up for.

We, the busy students that we are, flow into and out of obligations, whether intentional or not. Our studies come first. And so, over the past few weeks Reporter has seen some sudden stirrup in staffing. Various roles have flown from one able pair of hands to another. It happens...

Reporter's got your back: here is our compilation of the best deals for all you adventure-seeking, broke college kids out there.

Online delivery services are here. Will they gobble up grocery stores?

“ ... So, what’s your major?”

That's probably the second question you ask when you meet someone new, right after, "What’s your name?"

Once you’re out of college-land, this harmless question will grow up to be, “So .....

The gender ratio has long been the punchline of many RIT jokes. But what are the actual statistics? How does the Ratio effect our campus environment?

What if I told you that there was a place where you could let out your inner child? A place that showcases the toys you played with in your youth? A place where you could visit a pirate ship and a castle, an arcade and a butterfly garden?

Get ready for the newest addition to RIT! A state-of-the-art facility to house the Center for Media, Arts, Games, Interaction and Creativity (MAGIC).

As with many holidays, most people do not realize the history of solidarity surrounding Labor Day. This year, it may be what makes this holiday so important.

Accessibility is a quintessential component for quality of life.

Last year, I recall listening to a provocative conference keynote address by Patricia Moore on the humanity of design in its present state. Sitting in Booth’s Webb Auditorium, the crowd of students was eagerly poked and prodded by her piercing words as Moore shed light on the current weaknesses of the industry — areas of opportunity for us all in the crowd.

Our chairs creaked beneath us like the joints of the elderly for whom design had failed to actively acknowledge. As people age, she explained that there are fewer products available to help them maintain their quality of life...

Where are you going?

I ask myself this question before making all major decisions. It brought me to Rochester. It guided me to the flagpoles and roundabout entrance of the RIT campus, GPS chiming in with “turn left” and then “you have reached your destination.”

For many, this place is a whole new town full of strange faces and unexplored places, each a unique opportunity. I have found, in my time on campus and off on co-op, that you meet the friendliest people on college campuses. RIT is particularly rich in character — campus quads peppered with presence on sunny days, brick buildings riddled with enthusiastic diversity...
