Why did you choose URochester for graduate education?
I was drawn to URochester primarily because of the research being conducted in my department. Although my interview weekend was held online, my conversations with professors and current graduate students were incredibly engaging and welcoming. Everyone came across as friendly and approachable. Speaking with current graduate students also highlighted the department’s strong collaborative culture, which appealed to me.
What resources or services have you felt the most helpful at URochester?
I found the Graduate Education and Postdoctoral Affairs (GEPA) to be the most helpful resource. The GEPA office is almost always the first point of contact for any questions I have - they either have the answers themselves or connect me to someone who does.
What are your favorite spots on or off campus?
Currently, my favorite spot on campus is the Rush Rhees Library, and off campus is Irondequoit Bay. As someone who enjoys nature, I find that Rochester and its surroundings have so much to offer.
