Son is a junior at UR. We have never had any decrease in aid. We have been very pleased with $ aid every year. Son is very happy there. It is a rigorous place but everyone knows that and they seem to accept ( and maybe want) that situation. There is fun to be had; you just have to poke around! Greek life here is pretty tame but is a great way to meet quality people. My interaction with his friends always left me very impressed with the type of young adult that attends UR.
