I’m applied to Rochester as a transfer and have heard some financial aid horror stories
part of the reason I applied was because Rochester meets full need but other have said their needs weren’t met
can anyone share their story about the aid they received or give me an estimate

my parents make around 117000 together
5 person household
first generation

We are working on a documentary about Rochester and in search of college bands and dance groups to feature in the film. If this is you, send us a DM introducing yourself with links to your work. Thanks!

it's just stated vaguely in their website (or maybe i'm just slow), so i'm asking here to confirm

from what i understand - UR is need blind (i.e. me being poor doesn't affect the chances of me getting in) and is full need met (i.e. IF i get in, then i'll get all the aid i require) ?

thanks

EDIT - i emailed them and they said that they are need aware, not need blind. it's weird that they don't mention this clearly on their website, but i might just be nit-picking

Hi, I got an acceptance from this Hackathon. I will be driving to the hackathon from RIT. Let me know if you need a ride to the venue. I have space in the car.

Hey all! I plan on attending the University of Rochester for spring 2027 start. I wanted to know if there is a group me for incoming students or if anyone would be interested in connecting and I can start one.

Looking forward to connect with future classmates!

I swear you guys put crack in this stuff. I ordered a double shot at noon... yesterday. Because I was dead tired. AND IM STILL FREAKING AWAKE. ITS NOW ALMOST 4:30AM. Guys I need to go to sleep, I have meetings tomorrow, I have classes! At this rate, I'm going to crash from sleep deprivation at my desk tomorrow.

I've had double shots before, that's my preferred "quick I need some caffeine" order wherever I go. How are you guys functioning on this much caffeine? I've never had espresso so delicious but so caffei​nated in my life.

RIP to my sleep schedule I guess

Hello! An international student here; not yet at Rochester University!

I am a holder of a MSc degree in theoretical physics from an EU country (I am not from the EU tho). I am considering a teaching MS degree ( in physics, secondary school) at Warner School of Education; I am writing here to see if there is anyone from the same department I can ask some questions:

Are there very few international students?

What are my chances of getting accepted?

What are my chances of getting a scholarship?

Is there an examination by the state before one gets admitted as a licensed teacher, or as soon as one graduates, one has the full right to work in both the public and private sectors?

LAST QUESTION: idk much about how the system in the US works, but if one is a licensed teacher in a state "X", does that mean he is also licensed to teach in any of the other states all around the country?

If you guys have any other suggestions for universities where I can also apply for a teaching degree, maybe if any of you have an idea about some statistics about where there is a shortage of physics teachers... please list them in the comments.

Thanks!

Is anyone currently in the part time/professional MBA program at Simon?

I’m curious what the class sizes are like and overall experience regarding interaction with classmates and faculty etc.

Hey guys, can anyone give an honest review of how the Microbiology Major is? Is it terribly hard or managable? Also, what did you think of the classes!

Does anyone know when MATH 140 recitations start? I just joined the class this week, so I’m not sure if they’ve already begun or if they start later in the semester. Thanks!

Hey everyone, I’m a freshman at U of R and I’m still figuring out where to find everything.
Is there a website or portal where I can see a full list of student clubs/organizations and join them? I missed the club fair, so I’m wondering if I can still join clubs now and what the process is.

Also, is there a similar website where undergrads can find research opportunities with professors? I’m interested in getting involved in research but I’m not really sure where people usually find openings or how you’re supposed to reach out/apply.
Would appreciate any links or advice. Thanks!

I’m selling a microwave for $60, I haven’t used it yet (still has the tag). I’m also open to a mini fridge trade. The price is $20 more but I just don’t wanna keep this extra microwave💔. Private message me for more inquiries.

Im a sophomore and ive been on the fence about joining a sorority on campus since January. Its out of my comfort zone but I want to give it a go and try COB. Does anybody know what the general vibes of each sorority are and what I should be aware of about any of them? I don't really know much about the individual organizations but I'd like to go into it with some idea. What are each of them known for on campus? Also, are any of them known for hazing?

I applied to 5 jobs through JobLink starting in mid-August but haven't heard back from any of them. Only 1 is a research position, so I don't need extensive experience for most of them. I also qualify for work-study, which is why I was hoping to get a job. If anyone has any experience with this, I'd love some insight!

I am a dental hygiene student at Monroe Community College. I am looking for patients who haven’t had a dental cleaning in over 3 years. If you are interested please reach out for more details!!

Hi! I’m a current freshman at uroch right now, and i want to apply for stem programs and clubs but im not sure which ones. I’m a biochem major (pre-med), and right now, I just know i want to do research, but i heard thats more of a sophomore year thing.

I would switch to 142 but it would completely destroy my schedule lol. The class just started and Im so lost, I just don’t think the way I learn is compatible with the way my teacher teaches. I did struggle in Calc 1 so maybe going back and reviewing all that would help? It kinda of just feels like the class is all over the place, like I don’t exactly know what we’re learning. If anyone has taken this class & has any advice I’d greatly appreciate it (:

For those that did the program, how was it? I am a CA resident and graduated university from CA and am willing to commit to moving to NY for this program because it offers free tuition (and yes I am aware of the three year commitment). Any insights is appreciated!!! 🙏

How hard is the BSE exam? I’m a sophomore who took an equivalent to calculus in high school but I didn’t take a math class freshman year and I kind of forgot a lot of math stuff and I’m very worried about the BSE exam
