My alma mater! It's great to watch it continue to transform for the better since graduating. It was already a place with good facilities, high quality teaching, etc. But it just continues to get better each time I come around. New updated residence halls, more scholarships and financial aid and plenty of internship and research opportunities.
I write this only to thank this wonderful school for the amazing job they did on their Halloween Festival for 2017! My family and I enjoyed it immensely! If this kind of outreach is any example of our future college graduates, then I truly believe that our world is going to be just fine! I was also inspired by the beautiful architecture, quiet atmosphere, and kind faces of the students. A truly wonderful first impression of what a learning institution could be!
My biggest advice to anyone who is attending or will attend UR: You've got to find your niche and stick to it. If you can do that and really stick to it, you'll be fine, and you'll leave with an enjoyable experience. If you can't, you should explore other options. It isn't a place for people who are wishy washy and looking for a great place for freedom of self-discovery. It eats people like that for breakfast.
It may seem like it's a school that has everything (huge non-merit scholarships, a large variety of topics to study, good reputation, excellent academics, decent athletics, and the list goes on and on), but really it doesn't get any more niche than this school. I think many people go here who have very high expectations and who are very high achievers in a variety of areas. Yet, I made the mistake of looking at this school and choosing it for everything that it was on paper, and ignoring the little signs that pointed to something much different in reality. Make no mistake: if you go here, you will be incredibly challenged both academically and socially, and your college experience will be incredibly unique. You may become incredibly successful (our Chemistry program is so good many graduates end up at Stanford or Harvard), or you may become incredibly jaded and disillusioned. You will not have a "typical" college experience. You may end up finding it hard to relate to those who attended big colleges and had a "typical" college experience. Make of that what you will, because you can turn that into either a great advantage or a great disadvantage.
High academic standards, most beautiful campus in USA, highly successful D-1 athletics with student/athletes, known for its Business and Law Schools, International studies, and diverse student body.
It's a unique place. I really can't find any other word to describe it except just incredibly unique. I've never been to a place even remotely like this. It's like entering another world, in a way, because it is so different from the city and area around it. It's so different from it that it's like an island, but make no mistake, it will chew you up and spit you out without hesitation if you're not ready and not entering it with confidence and a strong mind. This place can really destroy you if you let it and you're not the right person for it. As an explanation, one of our alums is the current premier of Bermuda (so random, right? Fit that into your head), but honestly it doesn't surprise me. I'd like to think that going to UR was the perfect preparation for a role like that, and that UR was a perfect school for someone with those aspirations. Think of that what you will.
It's a beautiful place to go for a walk. I have enjoyed every minute spent working on the grounds.
