Academics at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

A

Biochemistry and Biophysics

This major is one difficult one I've heard. I just switched to it because it was more of what I wanted. I began as a Biology major because of my interest in Biology, but switched because it focused more on genetics and evolution, which I could care less for. Biochemistry and Biophysics basically focuses on the other aspects, such as the chemical reactions that happen within the body and how proteins fold for an example. Of course it has more that just that, but those are a few to mention. It definitely has more lab time, but I see it as on hand experience.

Guys & Girls at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

C+

3 to 7 Girl to Guy Ratio

We have something called RIBS at school and most girls suffer from it, which means they're stuck up. Due to the little amount of girls, guys are just chasing after what they can get, so girls' egos sky rocket. However, not all girls are like that. It just depends on who you bump into.

Overall Experience at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

A

Awesome

I have made great friends, taken interesting, challenging classes, and have had to learn how to balance my time. RPI isn't an easy college, but definitely is doable if you learn how to prioritize your time. You can find all times of people and there is a variety of events you can part take in.
