We offer options for student-led tours and information sessions to give you a sense of all that Rochester has to offer.
We’re closer to Toronto than New York City, so plan your travels accordingly. The Rochester metro area is easily navigable and our main campuses are a short drive or rideshare from the Greater Rochester International Airport, train station, or bus station.
You’ll find the University’s main campus, the River Campus, and the Medical Center located about two miles south of downtown Rochester. The Eastman School of Music and the Memorial Art Gallery are pillars of the arts scene and festival circuit in the city’s East End and Neighborhood of the Arts.
The 154-acre River Campus—the University’s main academic campus and the home of the River Campus Libraries—is located about two miles south of downtown Rochester by a bend in the Genesee River.
