Laid-back but strong northeast schools?

<p>My S1 is a freshman at Tufts now. He loves it!</p>

<p>He had many intense schools on his list (Cornell is super intense, JHU, CMU, Penn, etc.) However the one school that was laid back that we also loved was URochester. The kids that we spoke to were all really friendly and down to earth. The professors that we had meetings with were awesome. It’s in a very pretty area, right by the water. However it does get really cold, there, but they do have underground tunnels for wintertime.</p>

<p>Check it out! It’s supposed to be great for engineering and related areas!</p>
