<p>And my D is very excited that this year’s entertainment for Dandelion day is OK Go. And the concert is for UR undergraduates ONLY.</p>
<p>And the Park St area near downtown (and to which UR provides shuttle service) is the full of boutiques and very interesting cafes.</p>
<p>D favors the coffee/tea shop across the footbridge from campus for people/scenery watching and just plain hanging out. She says it has excellent chai. Starbuck’s on campus is also a popular hangout. And the library commons–which has booths, tables and comfy chairs, wireless, a cafe with really good organic baked goods (Connections) and is altogether unlike what most people think as a library. </p>
<p>One thing is remember–River Campus is not exactly in downtown Rochester. It’s kind of off in its own little nook, away from most of the town. Because of that and because students tend to be busy during the day, students really don’t hang out anywhere except on campus during the week. And I think that’s true of most college campuses.</p>
