Hey guys Ik this might sound like a stupid question but do I need a calculator for math 140/141? I heard that calculators are not permitted for the exams on these courses so I'm a bit confused.

wanted to check before I drop $100 on a graphing calc...

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!!! 🙏

A while ago I made a post about having to take two years off, having no more friends and struggling to make new ones due to social anxiety.

I guess that’s what I get for not putting myself out there I just want to thank everyone who did comment on my last post.

Just one more year and maybe I can stop feeling so isolated. I don’t know how to for myself to go into new situations with only 2 semesters left.

Hearing the people outside on hill court having fun certainly doesn’t help the feelings of isolation.

If anyone knows of a better way to get to Hutchison hall without stairs I’d greatly appreciate it!! I also need to go to Gavett and Hylan

Hello everyone.

I am currently in a pickle. I have a cat that I want to bring to Rochester (to a cat friendly apartment). I don’t have a car and always relied on Amtrak and etc to travel. But I recently found out you can’t bring a cat for a trip longer than 7 hours, which is longer than the trip I take from nyc to rochester (7 and a half or so). If anyone had the same problem, how did u manage to being ur pet from the city without a car? Please let me know!!!

Hi! I just recently got accepted to the UR Scholar Nursing Program in the ABSN Spring 2027 start date. I am planning on finding an apartment near campus in one of the neighborhoods they mentioned were safe and near the campus. I want to definitely find a roommate for a 2 bedroom apartment. I am a 22 year old female and I played collegiate soccer at my undergraduate university! I graduated with a BS in Exercise Science as well. I am pretty clean, I like to explore new areas and go out to bars occasionally, I love meeting new people, and am super excited to start this program. Let me know if anyone else is interested or searching for a roommate.

Incoming freshman with the Blue Unlimited plan and I’m confused about how the dining system works.
● Where can I use unlimited meal swipes? Is there a limit on how many times I can swipe per day?
● How do meal exchanges work, where can I use them, and how many do I get?
● How does Hillside work? Do I use meal swipes, meal exchanges, or Dining Dollars there?
● Where can I use Dining Dollars?
● What are Rocky Bucks and how are they different from Dining Dollars?
● Is there anything else I should know about using the Blue Unlimited plan?
Would appreciate it if someone could just explain how it works day-to-day. Thanks!

and by mandatory i mean how easy is it to skip

1. On their site it stated that the nursing scholars program will last till the summer. Does anyone know whether it will continue through all of 2027?

Right now taking 4 prerequisites for the fall semester to apply for next year

I know its literally day 3 but i feel like the ppl i hang out w rn arent rlly my vibe but it almost feels as if we have confirmed our friendship group. People around also seem to have their friends found already so its kinda intimidating speaking to large groups as 1 person. Is there a way I can work around this? Any tips would be appreciated

I'm a prospective student of eastman for music ed with jazz trombone and I'm curious about if their program is more traditional or contemporary. I know Gilkes is the trombone professor there and he tends to do more contemporary jazz especially in his composition style. I don't know if anyone would have experience with him specifically, but for the jazz program overall, would I be playing more traditional or contemporary jazz? I want to experience playing traditional jazz in small group gigs and I want to expand on that in college and get better at it. I don't know what kind of education I'd be getting, though I'm sure it'd be good

Hi everyone! I’m looking for a roommate for a 2BR apartment at UPK starting September 4, 2026.

Hello! Myself, and my roommate (24F), are looking for a third roommate for our rental house in the Park Ave neighborhood. The house is beautiful, fully furnished (minus bedroom furniture), and a block away from all the Park Ave restaurants and shops. If you are a 22-24 year old woman in grad school or newly post-grad and looking for a safe place to live send me a message. Must be very clean, considerate, and relatively quiet ☺️

For any students who have done it, are there any consequences to skipping out on some of the “required” events? I am an incoming transfer student who is 28 years old and has lived in Rochester for a few years now. Most of these events are not designed for my benefit and I would rather spend my time preparing for my classes next week than being forced to socialize with people a decade younger than me 😅 no hate to yall and I’m excited to be classmates but I have other obligations and had planned on spending this week getting ahead of the course work.

I live in Rochester and currently have offers from both the University of Rochester MS in Data Science and Simon’s MS in Artificial Intelligence in Business.

I’m having a hard time deciding between the two. The MSDS seems more traditionally technical, while the Simon program looks more focused on applied AI, GenAI, agents, and business applications.

Has anyone here studied in either of these programs, or taken courses from them? I’d really appreciate any honest thoughts on course quality, technical depth, workload, career value, and which one you would choose.

I just bought one at Walmart, but I don’t think it has the UL mark on it. Is only ETL mark not ok?

Hi, I need guidance on how can i get a housing in UPK or any on campus housing i know im late but i got the visa late.

I recently started the MDE program at the University of Rochester and wanted to know if anyone has any advice/study tips.
