University of Rochester Reviews
Rating 3.66 out of 5 1,595 reviews
I am very much liking my University experience since I have many friends that come from different states some even international! There are many courses that I found to be very interesting and there's a ton of diversity in that too. I was able to find a major I was really interested in; Digital Media Studies, and the University having so many options helped me out in that. A few things that I wish the University had more of is more cultural events that represent other countries. Since I'm Mexican-American, I want to feel like a sense of belonging and so others can see what my culture is all about. I am already participating in clubs such as SALSEROS which is a tin dance club that helps me spread my culture and dance moves through music.
Academic Experience:
Being a student at the University of Rochester would likely involve rigorous academic programs. The university is known for its commitment to providing a well-rounded education and fostering critical thinking skills. The Rochester Curriculum, which emphasizes interdisciplinary studies, allows me to explore a variety of subjects beyond my major.
Campus Life:
The campus, located along the Genesee River, offeres a beautiful and picturesque setting for me. I enjoy spending time in the libraries, student centers, and recreational facilities. Campus life includes involvement in student clubs, organizations, and cultural events.
Community Engagement:
The University of Rochester places importance on community engagement. I have participated in community service projects or collaborated with local organizations, contributing to both my personal growth and the betterment of the community.

I came to this school without having visited campus at all, and I'm so grateful that my move-in day was when I first got to experience it, with all my fellow freshman around me. People think, erroneously, that Rochester (both the city and the university) are boring places to be, and I would agree only insofar as to say that those who want things to come to them, might be bored. The city has so many amazing restaurants, venues, and sites, but you have to take that first step of getting on the bus to go see them. At an academically rigorous school like UR, it can be hard freshman year to remember that life exists outside of academics, and especially outside of STEM. UR has a vibrant arts community, though, not even including Eastman (which has student and professional concerts alike). Everyone finds their niche pretty easily once they look for it, because there is genuinely something for every type of person. And, everyone honestly supports each other all the time!
