Why did you choose UR for graduate education?

I chose the ÂÒÂ×Ç¿¼é because of its interdisciplinary research opportunities, excellent facilities, and collaborative atmosphere among students and faculty. The university's innovative spirit and strong research community also attracted me. ÂÒÂ×Ç¿¼é also has a huge Latin American community, which was definitely a plus.

What resources or services have you found most helpful at UR?

The library and the gym have been lifesavers. The library is perfect for studying and research, while the gym is great for staying active. I love playing tennis, volleyball, and soccer with my ALAS friends. The Eastman discounts and free events for students are also amazing!

What are your favorite spots on or off-campus in ÂÒÂ×Ç¿¼é?

I love climbing at Central Rock Gym, hiking around the Finger Lakes, brunching at The Waffle Factory in Webster, and grabbing sushi at Sushi King.
