University of Rochester Class of 2008--too premature?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
hey, quick question- what kind of financial aid has rochester been giving out. I submitted my applications a little late and wont here back in time. But I would like to get a sense of how generous they are.

thanks,

I think Rochester tends to be fairly generous by trying to give each student at least some scholarship money. Personally, I received $10K per year in free money, but I've heard of others who received much more. There was a post on here not too long ago where someone received $95K over 4 years!

Are you planning to attend Rochester mmz6?
 
I have finally decided to go, after a impromptu road trip to Rochester and Pittsburgh over the past few days! And I am totally excited! Rochester just seems so friendly and supportive and I think it will be a great place to learn.

I am thinking about living somewhere around the park ave/monroe ave area - anyone else going to be over there? It seems like it will be nice to actually leave school and go home rather than staying right in the area...

Hey Zeke,

I was going to attend, until I got of the Yale waitlist a few days ago. But you are all right, Rochester is an amazing school- good luck to you all. I will withdraw in the next few days, for those waiting.

Hey Zola, that's great! I have some great resources for finding apartments in Rochester that I came across when I was looking. My AIM name can be found in my profile on here, message me and I can send you the info I have. See you in August! 😀
 
Looks like I'm going to be at Rochester next year too! 😀 The Park Ave/East Ave area was recommended to me as a good place to live. I don't know Rochester very well, so I'm going to head up there later this month to check it out and search for a place. I haven't gotten much info from Rochester yet about starting in August - anyone have any interesting tidbits of info about orientation or anything that they want to share? 🙂
 
Hello there... Looks like I will be going to the Univ of Rochester after all... 🙂 I have a quick question. I know the health forms are due this week, but what if we can't get an appointment for a physical for 2 weeks? Anyone know?

Also, where is everyone living? PM me if you'd like---it would be great to get to know you guys and girls since we'll be with each other for the next four years....

Good luck,

I just turned my health forms in the other day, but I don't think they're due that soon. I thought they were due in about a month or so. I'm pretty sure they gave us plenty of time to get the physical completed.

Anyhow, it would be nice to meet up with everyone once people start arriving. Maybe we all could meet up for drinks sometime. My AIM screenname can be found in my profile thing on here. See you all in August!

Sounds like a good idea to me. I've already been up here for a couple weeks.

I'm not all that far from you. I live on Raleigh St., a block from SMH.
