I have gathered that the University of Rochester has lots of research, but most of it is focused on optics and biomedicine (two things I am not so interested in) and is limited by a heavy emphasis on graduates. Is this true?

Rochester ChemE does a lot with Green Energy, and that’s the first ChemE class. EE has a lot of variety too. This is a great school for research because it’s a research university but there aren’t enough graduate students so undergrads can work closely with professors. These professors are more well known in their fields than professors at liberal arts colleges. </p>

<p>I think Bucknell has better sports teams and probably more of a party atmosphere. Rochester is a pretty serious place. </p>
