Thank you for your responses, everyone! I guess unless I get Cal, I will choose UR. Returning to my original question, can anybody tell me about the social life at UR? I keep hearing stuff like “it’s dead” etc, but is it really very different from another school of its academic standard? FYI, I’m not talking about parties every night, but general activity on campus- and is the student body too academically oriented, or is there a lot of diversity?
