I really like the vibe of the campus, the closeness to the Eastman School of Music, and the people I've met. The academics are challenging, but I have learned a lot.
The food isn't great, and the freshman housing is kind of bad.
The University of Rochester provides high-level education to students who are willing to put in the effort. As a dual degree student at the Eastman School of Music, I’ve found that the dual degree program is very rigorous but provides countless opportunities to grow as a musician, scholar, and person.
The food is very on and off and especially at the Eastman campus, nutritious food can be hard to get ahold of. Cooking is easier at U of R since they have kitchens in the dorm buildings, however cooking is quite time-consuming.
The openness of the curriculum as well as the availability of professors and their willingness to help!
Food can sometimes be very dreadful here
The coursework is interesting and challenging, and the flexibility of degree plans allows people to explore just about everything while still being able to graduate on time. The food in the dining hall becomes repetitive after a while, but there are enough places on campus to find something new to eat.
Sometimes professors relied primarily on PowerPoint based on the textbook without introducing new materials, but that's standard for most colleges.
I really enjoyed my time this past year, but ultimately everything is what you make of it.
Don't feel pressured to join people out of obligation. Listen to yourself first.
