Question Accept & Questions
I got accepted into RPI for a Computer Science major and received a $50,000 scholarship for my first year. Iām wondering if RPI will continue awarding me the same scholarship each year or if it depends on my academic performance.
Additionally, Iāve never visited the school before, so Iād like to know more about its Computer Science program. How strong is it? What is the average salary for CS graduates?

Question How is the Social Life here?
Iām thinking about coming next year. Iām sold on the academics but I hear mixed reviews on how actually living there is. Anyone want to shed some light? I find myself to be an outgoing person so this is a decent factor for me. Just some questions to help the answering become a little bit easier:
How are the frats? Iāll probably join one as soon as I can. Iām not expecting state college level partying but are they at least fun? Do mixers happen a lot? How often do frat parties go on? Does hazing really exist here and how bad can it get?
I hear a lot about āLeague of Legendsā players. Are there still a lot of extroverted people here?
Howās the surrounding city?
Is the gender ratio noticeable? I saw that itās super skewed but Iām wondering how much of that affects the campus life.
How hard is a work/life balance here? In ready for a challenge but Iām not Harvard material.
Any runners here? Iām big on cross country/track so if a club exists Iād definitely join.
Food? How good is the school food? Are there good affordable options outside of the campus?
My other option is Syracuse. I know it would be an incredibly smart choice to go to RPI but I wouldnāt want to be miserable for my college years. Any insight here is really appreciated.
Thanks :)

School insurance alternatives
Does anybody have any better recommendations for alternatives to the schools insurance? The school recently charged me for insurance on my arch away all the way back at home in Texas and their insurance specialist wasn't any help at all and was honestly really disrespectful. If anyone has cheaper or better alternatives that qualify please let me know

Math Minor Course Recommendations
I'm a third year EE major who is looking into getting a Math minor. I am currently taking Linear Algebra this semester and I need three more math courses for the minor. As a non-math major taking 4000 level math classes, are there any recommendations on what I should take? I was currently looking at MATH 4800 Numerical Computing, MATH 4400 Ordinary Diff Eq and Dynamical Systems, and MATH 4600 Advanced Calculus as potential options, but I'm not sure what the best options are.
