<p>All this info is on the rochester.edu website.</p>
<p>I just came back from visiting. The campus is 10 minutes tops from downtown and shuttle buses run there every half hour or so because that is where the Eastman Music School is located. Eastman is part of Rochester. Look it up. </p>
<p>The campus is right on the Genesee. It is compact with a lot of green space, mostly Georgian-style buildings except in the science area where the architectural style is much more modern. A park runs for a great long way along the river. </p>
<p>UR isn’t next to a “college town” area of bars. It’s more a greenish island that isn’t far from things in Rochester, which is actually a fairly nice place. The really bad part of the city is way up on the other side of downtown to the northwest, not close to campus.</p>
<p>Public bus routes come to campus but the university runs shuttles to the malls, etc.</p>
