8 Best Mba Programs In Rochester, NY (2022 Updated)

Although RIT has a great programs within the College of Business, the advisement department brings it down on so many levels. I'm sure not all advisors are bad but the experience with mine has left a sour taste in my mouth. He/she was not helpful and tried to brush me off. When I did have questions, the advisor jumped to conclusions and made simple questions 10000x more difficult than ever needed to be. While I may say that I was not put in the easiest of situations and I was not the ideal student to work with, he/she did not make it any easier or pleasant. Instead they acted as if it was a personal attack on them and quickly escalated simple questions. Not only that, but on several occasions (not just from my own experience) advisors lacked to give proper advisement and overlooked information that would cause students to spend extra time at RIT and waste thousands upon thousands of dollars. Yes, there are a lot of students at RIT, but advisors have a job to do and from experience it is not being done satisfactorily. Given the recent turnover in faculty, hopefully they can set a better tone from the top, down.Anon Ymous

When I attended this extremely conservative school, I was heckled on a regular basis by professors regarding the style of clothes that I wore. I was later forced to discontinue study in the program due to hearsay regarding my spiritual beliefs. I would not recommend this school, even as a last resort.Standard Candle

Student-focused, relentless faculty guidance, well connected to alumni and other business/non-profit leaders for internships, externships, and jobs.Chris Farnum

Their grad degrees with a one-weekend-a-month on campus class schedule (and online courses) are ideal for working individuals with busy schedules.Alice Hallahan-Soltiz

Fantastic faculty committed to students by sharing their expertise in leadership and business, and their real-world career experience.Sydney Bell

– If you commute….don't come here. All the commuter parking is taken up by people who live on campus so you can't find a spot. You'll get a ticket for parking where there isn't a spot but someone who lives on campus won't get ticketed for storing their car in the commuter lot (they have a massive lot for students living in campus) Actually come to think of it; the parking here is just abysmal in general. – The gym for people who aren't student athletes is very small and they don't have showers so if you live off campus you can't go to the gym between classes. – While the library staff are helpful the library is small and they don't enforce volume levels so no matter where you go it's loud. – If you're a Veteran…don't come here. The VA office is slow, inefficient and has more extra paperwork to do than any other college I've been to. It seems like every semester there's some problem that prevents them from processing the paperwork. Even MCC does it better. When you go in to politely ask for help you get attitude from their staff as if them helping you is a burden. Literally every veteran here has issues with this place. What's worse is the hours of the veterans office are short and obscure so you'll probably have class when they're open.E

This is a great school. The new president and her administration are definitely making a difference. They are working on the veteran issues so hope to see that resolved. They are active with the community with classes for seniors and access to the fitness center. They often have free movies and lectures available to the public, (at least 4 per week). I enjoy interacting with the staff and faculty.Bernie L

I absolutely loved my time as this school. I met some amazing people, and still talk to some of my professors because they were so impactful on my life. The plowing was decent unless it was a really bad storm, in which you weren't going to see your car for days. As a commuter, this was fine for me. Unless you wanted to find parking, which is the hardest thing to do here.Kimberly Soles

Of the more than 50 top universities we toured around the country, Rochester was my favorite. Not only was it outstanding for its serene and spacious campus and its architectural richness, but for the people. The friendly staff who greeted us, the advice of their genuine and truly supportive admissions counselors, the welcoming and enthusiastic professors we met were all top notch. Ultimately my child chose a different university, but I would have been happy to spend more time visiting this campus and the surprisingly lovely city surrounding it.Mags

The school is beautiful. But really hate ur medicine in it. $600 just a single test with insurance. Talk and talk, never solved my problems. Did a much better test for $100 in another place without insurance and eventually get healthy. It’s not mental problems!!!Stella G

Research based University with plenty of opportunities for inquisitive mind. The amount of scholarship they provide to international students at graduate level is decent and tax- free.Md. Rayhanul Islam

I don’t personally go to RIT, or plan to, but I just need to say, to everyone in these reviews complaining about the cold or snow: did you bother to even look up upstate NY weather? We frequently get nor’easters, side affects from hurricanes that travel up the coast, as well as one winter we’ll get like a foot of snow and others we get snowed in so bad it’s level with your car. Like I feel like before you decide to move to a new place for college you should do some research outside of the academic opportunities…Ryleigh Balla

Not financial aide friendly. Tutoring for chemistry didn’t start until the fourth week of classes. The chemistry lab professor are rude grad students. The teachers are unorganized and unprofessional. I would not recommend this school to anyone. The ONLY good thing is the co-op.Laporcha Richardson

Absolutely beautiful campus! Over the weekend, we went for an Open House. The entire presentation was very nicely put together. Everyone we talked to had a genuine love for the school. Students were helpful wherever you walked. Can’t wait to go back!Pat B

Great experience at Simon Business School. World-class faculty and staff have created an unforgettable experience. Excited to launch my post-MBA career at Amazon after Simon!Mike Alcazaren

Horrible school . Not only do they lack education they assigned impossible assignments and not offer help. Also I was accused of plagiarism when it was my own words . I felt racially profile all the time . Never in my life I have been question my intelligence and my words of expression. All because I’m not white ! Would not recommend this school to anyone !Leo James

I love Medaille Rochester. The professors have been great. The program is challenging but rewarding. I will hopefully visit the main campus soon.Amy Shanley
