@RCram22

were you just accepted today?

I know that this has nothing to do with the thread but does Rochester have any wi-fi or any ethernet connections in the dorms?

Chedva

Yes. Both. Each bed has its own ethernet connection. Of course, some kids have complained about their reliability, but they're there.

Other universities you have been accepted at: Went ED I
Do you plan on attending now that you're accepted? Yep, with a pretty comfortable FA package. ED I was a great thing, I've been keeping this year pretty chill. Not sure if it's the best way to prepare for college (especially U of R), but I've kept my sanity.

I'd be interested in talking with any other people that plan on attending. PM, or my AIM screenname (same as my name here).
