I would not want to be at any other school! The professors are great, food is great, and the buildings are beautiful. Faculty and staff care about the students to the highest degree. The social scene can be a bit cliquey, but you are guaranteed to find your people.

I love everything about this school... It is a beautiful campus and the dining food is amazing. The professors really care and want to see you succeed.. The lectures are engaging and while the work is rigorous, it is great to work alongside like-minded students. Work hard, play hard seems a fitting motto. I feel safe, supported, and connected!

UR is an amazing school full of dedicated students, brilliant professors, and an understanding and active administration. While many students party hard, they always seem to be able to put that aside and achieve the high standards the university sets. Oh, and its the most beautiful college campus I've ever seen.
