My son is growing up and it is getting to be time to go off to college. Part of this ritual is visiting colleges and getting the vib of the campus -- one doesn't want to spend a year living somewhere one hates.

          So, this weekend, we travelled to New York and
          visited
          <a href="http://www.rit.edu/">Rochester Institute of Technology</a>
          ("RIT")
          and
          <a href="http://www.rpi.edu/">Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute</a>
          ("RPI").
          You can tell my son is into engineering.

Check out the pictures and commentary of the colleges.
