    The city of Rochester also adds to the school, with it's cultural attractions like the Eastman Kodak Theatre where you can often go to see free concerts, or the Little Theatre, an independent movie theatre, only a few blocks away.

    I enjoy traveling home to Buffalo quite frequently however nightlife here isn't as bad as some say if you can find the right niche of people to hang out with. The internet speed is also a nice perk.

    There is a lot for students to get involved in. I am apart of a club sport and volunteer. Although club sports aren't seen as great as some of the division one sports we have, it's a great way to get involved, meet amazing people and learn a lot.
