Anna Remus never expected to enroll at the University of Rochester.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy sister went here, and I was determined to do something different,\u201d the Des Plaines, Illinois, native says. \u201cBut the more I looked at Rochester, the more I realized this was the best place. I applied the final day I could, and I\u2019m so glad I did.\u201d<\/p>\n
Anna\u2019s sister, Angela, graduated with the Class of 2016. On Wednesday morning, Rosemary and Ken Remus were back on the River Campus to send Anna, their youngest child, off to college as hundreds of other first-year students, from 42 states, officially moved in. (The Class of 2021 also includes nearly 500 international students, who moved in Monday<\/a><\/strong>.) The three sat in their car in Park Lot, waiting to be directed to Anna\u2019s dorm, while being serenaded by student a capella groups.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s a different kind of hard,\u201d Rosemary said, fighting back tears. \u201cWe\u2019re excited for her.\u201d<\/p>\n
