A Burned Out City
Troy, NY is by no means the most vibrant and diverse city for a college student. Touted as the "Home of Uncle Sam," Troy is barely fueled by its constant overcast and weary residents. The restaurants in the region offer a decent quality and variety of cuisine. Attractions are limited to dining, bowling, and riverfront walks. Although the city of Albany is a 10 mile drive away, the lack of efficient public transport sets an unfortunate limit on travel.

City Streets Have Their Codes
Parking is difficult on campus, especially on streets shared with staff, and Troy resident. Designated parking lots are inconvenient in terms of distance and require permits. Other, farther lots can be accessed but may require RPI shuttle transport to get into the main campus.

Overcast and Cold
Towards the end of October throughout until April, the Campus is riddled with overcast conditions, and freezing temperatures and consistent windiness in every direction along with frequent precipitation.
