D2 were to UR. There are plenty of music opportunities at UR, UR has ensembles that are only open to UR students (and not Eastman students who have their own ensembles). Positions in the ensembles are by audition and the level of performance can be pretty high.
UR students are also eligible to get free musics lesson from advance students at Eastman. The number of students who will get lesson varies by instrument and the availability of instructors. Lessons require an audition and not all students will get lessons. For saxophone, for example, there were 5 students who auditioned and only the 2 best were offered lessons. Her roommate auditioned in violin and the top 8 students were offered lessons. Lessons take place on the Eastman campus which UR students can access by city bus. UR student ride free on city buses with their student ID. However, Eastman class schedules and UR class schedules don’t align and with the bus travel, your student will need a big block of free time for musics lesson. Typically a whole free morning for a 1 hour lesson.
UR has ore-med volunteering opportunities at Strong Hospital across the street form campus–though competition for positions can be high, especially right at the beginning of the year. . Other sites will require with a car or the willingness to utilize the city bus lines.
UR has tons of pre-meds. D2’s freshman year fully 35% of the entering freshman class considered themselves pre-meds. Like all universities, freshman lecture classes in Bio, gen chem, calc 1 and psych are quite large (~250 students) with smaller recitations led by advanced undergrad or grad students. Only once a student has finished Ochem and intro bio do pre-med class sizes get much smaller.
RIT students don’t have access to Eastman faculty or facilities.
