Building a new multi-million BME facility
For physics- largest laser in the world (OMEGA), and will be making a new physics center to be shared with MIT.

Special Programs:

REMS- BS/MD Program
Cross-registering with RIT for engineering
3-2 BS/MS or BA/MA Programs - Why not save a year tuition if you can?
Duel degree at Eastman
UR student may take private lessons from Eastman

The icing on the cake:


Large ammounts of merit based scholarships
Free bus to downtown rochester every 20 minutes
Tons of research opportunities
An awesome student center designed by I.M Pei
The amazing Rush Rhees Library, and Snibley Music Library
Beautiful campus, and although I will never find a campus that competes with the scenery of my hometown, Lake George, it’s nice. . . secluded from the city, but still has all the resources of the city available, and it’s right on the Genesee River.


In my opinion UR is a pretty well-rounded school. It’s perfect for me, because I want to be an engineering major, but can’t see myself the real tech schools (ie: RPI, RIT, MIT. . . .), and Duke and John Hopkins (for BME), though have wonderful programs, seem farther away from home than I’d like to be. I like the fact that Eastman’s there and will probably take lessons.

So yeah, sorry for the overabundance of info.
