RIT's House of General Science The House of General Science (HoGS) is a special interest house over a decade old.
We hold strong ties with the College of Science and College of Applied Science and Technology at RIT, the Rochester Museum of Science, and have good rapport with other Special Interest Houses on campus. In addition to being an academically driven floor, we here on HoGS are a sociable bunch, doing a variety of activities together from apple picking to rock climbing, and even just watching movies in
