<p>With regard to NY Smile’s advice, we did just that. We visited UR twice, spent time on our own around campus, met lots of students, talked with lots of students, ate lunch, went to the coffee shop, approached students who were manning “booths” for various things (one was for Rush info), and more. We found the students to be warm, welcoming, helpful, upbeat, and simply stated, they all LOVED their school. We closely watched the students in the dining room, and saw happy faces and lively conversations. We walked through academic buildings during class time, and even had three girls ask if we needed help or directions (we looked lost!). We ran into an alum who talked to us for a long time. Two visits, and all GOOD! UR is not for everyone. Our D doesn’t care that she is not in the middle of a college town, like Chapel Hill. She wants small classes and opportunties. The classes she attended, both FRESHMAN classes, had 12 and 6 students, respectively. She was wowed by the professors and the close interaction they had in class. We all thought it was a gorgeous campus, beautiful architecture, great facilities, and the dorm rooms we saw were fine. All in all, we give it a 10 on a 10 scale.</p>
