Students may wish to contribute money for rent or food. RIT Apartments RIT has one of the largest university-owned apartment programs in the nation. The five complexes, Colony Manor, Perkins Green, Racquet Club, Riverknoll and University Commons at Riverknoll differ in layout and size, and all are served by the shuttle bus system.
Apartments range in size from one to four bedrooms.
Although the majority of apartment residents are undergraduates, a mixture of graduate and undergraduate, and single and married students can be found in each apartment complex. Each complex offers the privacy of a small community, with individual mail and newspaper delivery. Apartment residents enjoy other community benefits with volleyball courts, barbecues and picnic areas plus playground equipment for young children.
