A lot of companies see RIT as a huge talent pool, and dedicate quite a bit of recruiting resources to look for potential interns and full-timers. Plus, you'll find peers that you can use to develop your professional network.
That's too much money to spend on a technical degree. You could make the argument Harvard or Yale is worth that kind of money because your contacts are with people who are going to be senators and CEOs. But a place like RIT? $44k/yr is way too much money for what you're going to get.
YMMV.
