U of R- a Research School
The school is a great research institute and with that can come a little bit of sacrifice in the quality of the professors. All are very involved in their research and although some may not be the greatest in teaching at the undergraduate level, many of the professors are actually looking to help and do a good job of it AND teaching well too. Even if they seem intimidating or difficult to contact, if you make the effort, I believe that they would be more than happy to help.

Couples in a Sea of Singles
The social life largely revolves around performing groups at school. The sports do not get very much attention so people often go to acapella concerts or performances put on by various dance groups. These are plenty of frat parties for people to find hook ups if desired. In terms of attractiveness of the students, we lean towards the nerdier side of things. People are mostly average with some better looking and some worse looking people. Most people have long term relationships or are single and have some hook ups along the way.

Free Shuttle System
We have a good shuttle system that runs frequently. There are five or six different lines that travel on anf off campus. And we even have an airport shuttle service for Thanksgiving! The shuttle system is free and generally reliable. It is difficult to get to other colleges/universities nearby although not impossible. Rochester has its own bus system which is only $1 per ride.
