Founded in 1850, the University of Rochester is located in Western New York. Rochester's rich history in enterprise and social justice radiate through the student experience through courses and extracurricular activities. The moderate size and range of academic and top-tier research programs allow for both individual attention and unique flexibility in designing undergraduate studies. Rochester's unique undergraduate curriculum lets our students take control of their education from day one. Students pursue and connect a wide range of interests— from math to music to modern dance.
Rochester operates as both a homebase and launchpad for discovery. Our students and faculty come from around the world, so diverse perspectives characterize all aspects of life on campus.
The University's mission is to Learn, Discover, Heal, Create—and Make the World Ever Better. Through individual endeavors and collaborative efforts, students and faculty work toward this goal each day, improving themselves, each other, and their shared learning environment in the process. The University's motto, "Meliora" (ever better), shapes students into future leaders in industry, education, and culture.

Students Say
The University of Rochester is a private research university in western New York. The school's programs are rigorous, but students appreciate the freedom to create their own paths. Rochester "does not require general education classes, but instead encourages students to pursue their passions through the cluster system," which groups classes together in divisions of Humanities, Social Sciences, and Natural Sciences and Engineering. While the programs offer flexibility, the academic requirements are demanding, but regardless of field of study, "tutoring services, [the] University Counseling Center, and staff [who] focus on creating a supportive environment" are always available. "Most people...spend all of their time studying," says one student. But the intellectual efforts come with benefits: the combination of motivated peers and academics "makes...a better student and learner." Faculty also play an important role here with professors who are "really knowledgeable and passionate" about what they're teaching. One student comments that professors "keep material interesting, [are] approachable, and [are] very fair." And class structures are varied so as to "incorporate design thinking" or to feature "more interactive problems." Added benefits to that structure include "small class sizes and individual attention," and "so many opportunities...[are] offered to students both inside and outside of class."

Students Say
The university’s Greene Center offers a variety of services to help students along their career paths, including drop-in hours (during which students can receive assistance with résumés and general advice), advising appointments, internship and job search strategies, job fairs, and networking events. The school places “a large emphasis on community engaged learning,” and many classes incorporate experiential aspects and trips. Funding is available for all aspects of these opportunities, including skill-building boot camps, cost of living for unpaid summer internships, and creative festivals and residencies. The school also posts college and departmental internships on Handshake; students can also take advantage of The Meliora Collective, the university’s networking platform for connecting with alumni mentors, practicing interviews, and browsing job and internship postings. This all boosts student confidence in the education they’re receiving. One student shares, “I know when I get out, I’ll be able to get a good job I will academically be prepared for.” The numbers reinforce this sentiment: University of Rochester graduates report a median starting salary of $74,000, and 54 percent receive a high level of meaning from their job, according to Payscale.com.

Rochester offers more than 250 student-run clubs, an extensive athletic center, and nightly events; the University of Rochester's River Campus rarely slows down. Most students love it so much that they decide to live on campus all four years.
With student organizations ranging from cultural and political to religious and athletic, students at Rochester can easily find communities of friends who share their interests and passions. Part of what makes the student experience so fun is the variety of rich traditions on campus. This includes Meliora Weekend for students and alumni, Dandelion Day and Springfest, the annual medieval-style celebration Boar's Head Dinner, and Wilson Day community service during first-year Orientation.

Students Say
Diversity is key at UR, "both [in] background and academic interests." As one student states, "In my class alone, 46 percent of us are international students." Those different backgrounds branch into an even wider range of activities. "Some [students] are filmmakers, some are dancers, some love sailing, some love art. Everyone has their own passions," another student describes. The variety is a benefit, with students claiming "the best thing about the UR community is that nobody can be put into a box." Undergrads describe their peers as "charmingly nerdy" or "chill nerds" who are "very down to have interesting and academic conversations." While most students are "academically focused" and "really care about what they do here," they are for the most part "more collaborative than competitive." "People range from passionate to apathetic, party animals to total nerds." However, amidst all the diversity is a strong sense of camaraderie, and "everyone holds each other accountable in terms of pursuing their absolute best."

Location
Known by many names the Flower City, the ROC, the 5-8-5 Rochester is located in Western New York. We're closer to Toronto than to New York City, although both are within driving distance. From our historic museums to our internationally recognized festivals, Rochester has the big-city culture with the small-town charm.
Roughly two miles from downtown along the Genesee River, the University of Rochester's 154-acre River Campus the University's main academic campus is home to roughly 6,500 undergraduate and 5,200 graduate students. The Eastman Quadrangle or the "Quad" is the centerpiece of campus, filled with students in hammocks, games of frisbee, and groups studying under the trees.
The Medical Center and South Campus are within walking distance from the River Campus, and the Eastman School of Music and Memorial Art Gallery are a free 10-minute bus ride away.

Campus Facilities & Equipment
The First-Year Quad is home to Gilbert, Hoeing, Lovejoy, and Tiernan Halls which follow traditional corridor-style housing. There are many additional options for upperclassmen including traditional-style rooms, suites, and apartments on campus. Most students chose to live on campus for all four years of their college experience. Students can enjoy a wide range of dining options right on campus including two dining centers, easy grab-and-go stations, and coffee shops.
The River Campus offers an impressive variety of resources and student organizations such as the Frederick Douglass Institute for African-American Studies, the Susan B. Anthony Institute for Gender and Women's Studies, the Institute of Optics, Humanities Center, Goergen Institute for Data Science, M.K. Gandhi Institute for Nonviolence, Institute for the Performing Arts, a virtual reality lab, observatory, iZone a creative problem-solving space designed to empower students to explore and imagine ideas, and an 11-000 square-foot athletic center.
On South Campus, in the Laboratory for Laser Energetics, you will find the 60-beam OMEGA laser, the world's most powerful fusion laser. Highlights at the Medical Center include Strong Memorial Hospital, the James P. Wilmont Cancer Center, and the Golisano Children's Hospital. If you venture into downtown you can find the Memorial Art Gallery and Eastman Theatre, both of which offer free entertainment for University of Rochester students.
Off-Campus Opportunities
The City of Rochester is home to a dynamic mix of culture, commerce, and history. Rated among the most livable cities in the United States, there is an abundance of cultural and recreational opportunities available for our students including free admission to local museums, discounted concert tickets at local music and theater venues, professional sports teams, proximity to local parks, and ample ways to engage with Rochester's rich history. With Lake Ontario to the north and the scenic Finger Lakes to the south, there are also plenty of opportunities for students to engage with nature.

Students Say
University of Rochester is "very much an academically driven institution," and course work is the top priority. But as one student says, "The weekend [is] when most people fill their days with different activities." One such activity that many students rave about is movie night: "School movie nights are [the] best school-provided weekend activity." Athletics are, of course, present, but as one student notes, "Rochester varsity sports are not very competitive, [however]...a lot of people...do club sports." Other students mention weekend hikes, dance groups, plays and recitals. One thing to contend with at Rochester is the long winter; as some students put it, it's "winter 90 percent of the time." Both the school and students have adapted, and one student offers assurances that Rochester has "established a tunnel system which provides convenience." Dining halls on campus also provide comfort, and anyone looking for a tasty bite to eat can rest easy: "There are a bunch of places to eat on campus." Another way to socialize on campus is through Greek life, but even that is "not as fratty" as you'd expect. As for parties? "There is not a huge party scene on campus, but it's there if you want it," claims one Yellowjacket. Off-campus activities are plentiful, "if you have a car." Otherwise, students rely on the shuttle system. Overall, "there is always something to do on the weekend for entertainment" if students need a study break.
