Hi all, I just want to ask, I am from Asia, so I could not get to any school visiting since it's too far away. Then how can I know how's the grad student's atmosphere in my department? I only have contact with one of my countrymen who in same group as mine, and he said everything's good. There is no such thing is that perfect Thanks a lot.

Hi hopingforfunding, Thanks a lot for your answer. Btw, after my application to RPI, I think RPI is a research-focus school. You better contact some professors, ask them if you can join them as RA, since this time all TA posts are full ( after 4/15 ). You now has a better ground since they already accepted you, so the professors only have to give you RA instead of admission stuff. There will be some RA posts open in May or June, just keep on searching, you never know. Best wishes, keyboard.

Hi guys, I will join RPI this Fall too, and currently looking for a place and roommates if possible. I will join CS for my phd, and will get 16k/ 9months too ( I guess that's the standard @ RPI). They told me it has increased from 14k since last year. Where should I fly to? JFK ( at NYC) or Albany international Airport ( at ALB)? Do they have some sort of bus from JFK to ALB, or ALB to Troy? I checked the flight tickets, and American Airlines probably the cheapest, would you recommend it? If want to buy stuff like PC, laptop, clothes, electronics, where is the nearest place to buy in Troy? I have driving license from Malaysia, can I still use it in NY? Do I have to retake all the tests? where and how much if possible he he. Thanks a lot, hope to see u all soon.

Hi, I will join RPI this Fall for my phd, I am currently looking for a place to stay. I want to stay near campus or on campus, any recommendation? Really appreciate your help.
