Here we go!

Where did the summer go? It feels like only yesterday we were packing up and heading home. Classes start a week from today!

Looking to get a ride to campus? RPI Parking and Transportation has free shuttles to campus if you register for them before the 26th. From their website:

Start of semester shuttle to RPI
The Parking and Transportation Department will be offering transportation through a registration process from the Albany International Airport, Rensselaer Rail Station, and Greyhound Bus Station to campus. To arrange transportation please contact the Parking and Transportation Department weekedays at 518-276-6616 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Return trips will occur on Sunday, August 29th. Be advised that there are select timeframes to choose from and the last day to arrange transportation will be Thursday, August 26th at 3:30 p.m. All requests after this date are subject to availability. Passengers are encouraged to pack lightly as space on the shuttle bus is limited.

We look forward to seeing you all back on campus! And if you’re an incoming freshman, Welcome to RPI!

Look out for:

1. New parking meters
2. New shuttle routes
3. Free laundry on campus
4. More expensive books
5. TA’s that are still trying to learn English
6. SIS still sucking
7. LMS!!!
8. Overworked, underpaid RA’s
9. Lost freshmen (easily identified with lanyards around their necks)
10. The Ratio
