I love this school. It's a good size and easy to get around. No bikes or buses are required to get to classes (except those in the school of music) and the campus is nice. All of the professors I've had so far have been great and I've made a lot of good friends.

It's a fruitful school with enlightening academics, reat orgs, but the social connections are a little hard to meet if you don't fit the groups that are on campus. It is a little full of cliques but there are so many ways to participate that everyone should find a set of people that they share interests with

The University of Rochester, home to the Nipple of Knowledge. This might seem like a strange thing to be known for but we have an incredibly library for anyone, from quiet to social. This University offers a wide range of academic opportunities including the availability to take classes at the medical school as an undergraduate student as well as the world renowned Eastman School of Music located a few miles down the road. This University has research available to all students, even undergraduates and has a comprehensive learning environment. One of minor pitfalls of this University would be the food, but theres a Wegamans close by so no need to panic. Overall this is a pretty great school with some pretty great people.

As a freshman, I really like the college so far. I have met a ton of dedicated professor who was willing to help. Also, the open curriculum really drew me in with that choice that is different from what I have seen other colleges. Also the services they have for campus are amazing and always willing to lend a hand.

I am a student of the Eastman school of Music, at the University of Rochester, which is technically different. We do have access to classes and food and facilities of UR, but we primarily live and go to school at a separate school. The UR has lots of very nice facilities and good food, but Eastman is lacking. It is so expensive and the food/living situations are less than ideal. It's an amazing music program that I am happy to be part of, but I find it hard to be happy with my surroundings.

The nursing program U of R is one of the best programs I have ever had the pleasure of being apart of. The professors and admissions staff truly care about the students, they do everything possibly to help. The classes and the way we are taught is truly amazing, they teach you who to be prepared for every possibility. It's truly a place where you can lean on your fellow students and create a bond with them. U of R is school would recommend to anyone.

As someone who is looking to finish a degree a bit faster than usual, it's tough dealing with the administration. They're not very flexible and you have to petition to do anything unusual. But if you're looking for that full, four-year college experience this is a good place.

I love it! It's my dream school. I attend the Eastman School of Music, the renowned music school at the University of Rochester. In my time at Eastman, I would definitely want to pursue a further education of African American History. The courses within this major also cover the elements of music, art, religion, and oppression of the black community extensively. Social justice, awareness, and familiarity with my culture are all things that are extremely important to me, and studying them alongside music would help me grow into a well-rounded, compassionate, and intellectual person.

I haven't explored enough, but I would rather go to a different school with a better engineering program. This is a good place for academics only - especially if you are looking towards pre-med. I never expected such few things to do here in upstate NY. It gets cold, the city is more dangerous than most (found out later on), and we aren't a party school or have much spirit for sports. You want education, you get education.

University of Rochester is a welcoming campus with great and rigorous academics. The students here are all in for learning nothing but the best. Everyone is super friendly and eager to help you if they can. The area surrounding campus can be sometimes questionable but thats around every college campus. The academics here are often compared to that of a top tier college and this college is one of the most welcoming student bodies I have ever met. I am so excited for my next years here!
