<p>How would you describle these two aspects in U of R? To be honest, I hate both, and want my future college that is more academic. Also, I heard many said that UR students are down-to-earth and friendly, aren't they?</p>
<p>By the way, I wish all waitlisted people the best of luck! :-)</p>
<p>Thanks in advance! :-P</p>
<p>Any current students have ideas? :-/</p>
<p>How can someone hate parties?? You sound like a lot of fun!</p>
<p>HaHa! </p>
<p>I am sure there're many students outside like me don't love parties at all, but we are still friendly and nice to be friend with! :P</p>
<p>Slope, by the way, have you decided to go to U of R next year?</p>
<p>Yeah, I guess. No offense, but are you in such a rush that you can't type in english?</p>
<p>no, but can you elaborate it more?</p>
<p>what does that mean?</p>
<p>I mean what make you feel this: "are you in such a rush that you can't type in english?"</p>
<p>reread this: "I am sure there're many students outside like me don't love parties at all, but we are still friendly and nice to be friend with! :"</p>
<p>oh!!! sorry! it does sound weird, and doesn't make sense at all.</p>
<p>Thanks for pointing it out!</p>
<p>Sorry, guys! that's all my brother's fault, for he used my account to post nonsense. All those comments were not written by me except the first one. </p>
<p>Many friends of mine hate parties, so I don't see how funny it is. Nonethless, I do respect drinkers and party animals since different people have different interests!</p>
<p>I live in Rochester and I have a number of friends that go there. There are fraternities, so there are definitely parties there. But for the most part if you want to stay away from those than you should not have any trouble. Most of the people I know there like to be social, meaning they like to go out and to parties, not necessarily drink but just be there, and they say that you can find parties but they are few and far between as compared to alot of other schools. Basically, its not that much of a party school, so if you want to have fun but aren't into the party thing then you should be fine.</p>
<p>There is absolutely no pressure to party or drink at UR (there are actually substance-free living options). I know many people who choose not to drink and they get by just right. Even if you don't like to drink, if you find a good group of friends, you can go out to the fraternities, have a good time and not touch a drop of alcohol. If you don't like to party then you don't even have to do that and many of the kids on substance-free floors have a good time anyways.</p>
<p>Thanks, guys! I think all you said were true, as I asked a friend of my father's who majored in optics in UR about the party and drinking stuff, he told me exactly the same thing.</p>
<p>I'm currently a freshman and yes, there're always frat parties going down on the weekend but there's no pressure at all to drink or participate, unless you have shoddy-ass friends. Frat parties are fun for the first few times but if you've been to one, you've been to them all (unless there's the occasional drunk girls poledancing and stripping :-P)</p>
