<p>warriors, there are a lot of links in this thread re: the sciences at UR. I’d suggest starting there. UR is not a national research university. That said, due to the small size, you have the opportunity to get involved with research as soon as you step foot on campus if you desire. UR has made solid strides in the last 10 years in sciences, including the new building, stipends for summer research, and solid med school acceptance rates.</p>
