I was recently invited to a counselor fly-in to tour 4 distinct schools in the picturesque NY region known as the Finger Lakes, home of 11 magnificent lakes. Follow my posts for the next 4 days as I highlight each of the schools visited!
University of Rochester is a tier one research institution of 5,000 students, the majority of which will conduct and possibly publish research results as undergrads. They are one of the very few schools in the country with an Optics Department, think hybrid between physics and engineering, and Optics is a high demand field, especially for women. Rochester offers a unique "tution free" fifth year during which students can take classes outside their 
major for enrichment and exploration. (Room and board bills still apply!) Students are focused learners who spend a lot of time studying but also singing, since Rochester is also home to the famed Eastman School of Music. The reading room of the library was packed on an October Monday afternoon around 5:30 pm -- a quiet respite from the activities on a the quad just outside.
