I personally love rio! I transferred from PCC and I can tell you this school has a community that cares! With me transferring soon, I would recommend to get involved with the resources on campus, there's lots of money out there! Being involved with clubs and connecting with your professor will open lots of opportunities!

Terrible school! Go to a different one.
Overall 1.3
College caters to students who are successful not with potential. You don't get the best help from Counselors. Internet is terrible, disconnects every 5 seconds and logging back in is a huge hassle. Trams are never on sight to bring students uphill. Parking is very limited that students can not make it to class. Best to go somewhere else
Overall 1.6
This school just gives me plain anxiety! Everything is so high! Duh its on a hill! I cant which is why I take online classes but for this year I wont be able to if I want to graduate. Everything is a mission to get to and theres no parking because everyone is fighting for one! Counselors are cool in Eops. But you waste gas going there.
