What would it be like to go to a school with a campus that I’m not fond of?
Would I just “get used to it” eventually or would it really impair my college experience?
I love everything URoch has to offer, but I’m not really not a fan of its location or how “isolated” it seems to be.
I do think it matters in the big sense in terms of geography (i.e. if you hate cold and love big cities, Bowdoin might not be the best fit. If you love quiet, calm and earthy than PITT might not be the best fit). However, with my kids I have found that they adjusted to the environments of their colleges, even though both ended up at the type of campuses they did not initially go into the college search looking for. Weather has actually been more of a factor than I would have thought, frankly, not urban vs. rural, etc. But that is just them.
@rlyoutofit do you mean that Rochester as a city is too isolated (not large enough, to far up north in NY) or that the location of UofR is to isolated within the city of Rochester?
@ReturningFavor Both, actually, haha.
The campus is too isolated from the city, and Rochester as a city is a bit too suburban. Weather is not a big deal for me though.
