This week, the University of Rochester welcomed more than 1,500 first-year undergraduate students in the College and at the Eastman School of Music to campus. The first-year students in the College hail from 47 states, plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, and include 15 students from the Rochester City School District; international students comprise 25 percent of the incoming class. The new Eastman undergraduates, meanwhile, represent 27 US states and six countries. Among the new members of the Class of 2027 are first-generation students, US veterans, junior Olympians, accomplished performers—and even a national Scrabble champion.
In addition, nearly 100 transfer students, approximately 200 School of Nursing students, and more than 1,500 graduate students will join the University community this academic year.
