He says it was RIT or Rochester Institute of Technology. I went there (although it was a much better value for me, since I was in NTID, the deaf sub-college, so I basically got half off tuition); and now that I check, we actually overlapped.

It's a pretty good school for tech, but the quarter system is/was brutal for people who weren't very conscientious because you get very little chance for recovery once you screw up. The Rochester winter probably didn't help. Retention rates weren't too good, and people like him demonstrate why.
