地理位置
The University of Rochester is located in upstate New York, just south of Lake Ontario. Rochester’s metropolitan area has the second largest economy in New York State, behind New York City, and is New York’s third largest city.
In 2007, Rochester was named one of the top ten most livable cities in America by the Places Ranked Almanac in its 25th anniversary edition. Since snow is a regular occurrence during the cold months, the city is perfect for winter sports enthusiasts. Those who want to stay warm indoors can enjoy a variety of restaurants, coffee shops, bookstores, movie theaters, and museums the city has to offer. Rochester also offers several music venues and has a thriving bar and club scene.
The summer months brings several festivals to town including the Lilac Festival in Highland Park, the Park Avenue Festival, the Corn Hills Arts Festival, and the Clothesline Festival in the Memorial Art Gallery. The primary area to enjoy the nightlife is the East End District, which contains several nightclubs, restaurants and bistros.

The University of Rochester’s main campus, known as the River Campus for its location on the banks of the Genesee River, is just south of downtown Rochester. The campus is planned in quads, which students like to hang out on n nice weather. Eastman Quad is at the center of campus, and the major academic buildings are laid out around it, including the Rush Rhees Library. The Wilson Commons student center is just behind Eastman, at the top of Wilson Quad. Designed by modernist architect I.M. Pei, the Commons paints a nice contrast with the Greek Revival buildings around it. The Residence and Fraternity Quads are adjacent to Wilson, close to the Genesee River.
The athletic center and Fauver Stadium are just north of Residence Quad, across Library Road. The Sage Arts Center is farther north still, with more dorms in this direction as well. Across campus to the east are the science and engineering buildings, closer to the Genesee again. The Interfaith Chapel is located on the banks of the river, across Wilson Boulevard from the campus.
The University of Rochester Medical Center, where Strong Memorial Hospital and the School of Medicine and Dentistry are located, is east of River Campus. The Eastman School of Music, which features the Eastman Theater, is right in downtown Rochester.
