Why did you choose URochester for graduate education?
Being part of URochester as an undergraduate has really shown me that Rochester was the right place for me. The friends I've made, the professors, the connections, and everything seemed right for me to continue my education here at URochester, and to this day, I still love the cold winter nights and warm summer breeze in this slightly crazy, weathered city.
What resources or services have you found the most helpful at URochester?
The Greene Center, for me, was the one resource I used frequently, especially during my undergraduate time here. I had no idea how to write a resume or apply for jobs, and meeting in person with students and professionals alike was extremely helpful in getting me started and moving in the right direction.
What are your favorite spots on or off-campus in Rochester?
There are many places off campus in Rochester that I love to go to. I was a big beach person back home in Thailand and Indonesia, and I was glad to see that there are some beaches around, only an hour's drive away from URochester, and I love to go there for a good tan and swim, though be warned, the water can be freezing cold at times!
