The University of Rochester is a private research university located in the charming city of Rochester in Monroe County, New York, situated right next to the magnificent Genesee River. The hordes of pre-med students can take advantage of Rochester’s medical center, one of the largest medical facilities in Upstate New York. The unique nature of Rochester can be experienced through a variety of ways: going from class to class using the university’s underground tunnels, speaking Old English at the Boar’s Head Dinner (a Middle Ages themed feast), or even joining the university’s quidditch team. The university’s athletics teams are known as the Yellowjackets.
