Hi there congrats on being a finalist for for your program here I am at the Wilson commons the hub of student
life at the University of Rochester right behind me is the pit one of our four dining halls to the
right of the pit is Rocky's a sub shop and lounge where trivia night happens on Thursday nights
to the right of Rocky's is Gowen lounge where we have a lot of extracurricular events and
activities that happen to the right of that is the Hurst lounge where you see a lot of
students getting homework done grabbing a bite and then right up there is one more surprise
for you come follow me I'll show you and here we are Starbucks a student favorite for some
obvious reasons Starbucks is open many hours of the day and is always a great place to hang
out relax and get some homework done welcome to the Goergen athletic center this is where
a lot of students and student athletes come to get their exercise in for the day I'm going to
be taking you all around and showing a few of the amazing things that this place has to offer
so here we are in the gym this is my favorite part of the athletic center as you can see we have an
abundance of equipment from benches to dumbbells to machinery and tons of squat racks and then
up top we have an abundance of cardio machines so this is open pretty late it's open from about 6 30
to 11 p.m. on most days and so that's a huge chunk of time where you can come in and get your lift in
for the day the indoor turf field and track which you can see behind me this is really great because
when the weather is not so nice outside you can come here to play some soccer or just get a run in
this is the Palestra as you can see behind me it's a really nice basketball court this
is where our men's and women's team come to play and it's a really great gathering spot for students
when the court is open it's open for students to just
come and play a little pickup basketball between classes as well this is Rush Rhees this is one of my
favorite libraries one of my key favorite things about it is the stacks so back here you can go in
through some tunnels little ways and you can be surrounded by books it's a great place to study
i often go up there to kind of have a more secluded area that's a little bit more quiet you
can look across and they have windows all up there so you have a great view while you're studying
but if you don't want to work in such a secluded place you can also come down here
there's a lot of wonderful collaborative study spaces with tables different things like that
and you can print back there as well which is a great resource but you also have the Q and I
and they often give you wonderful things such as dry erase markers and some chargers as well which
are very helpful in terms of just getting studying done and learning your new material but yeah it's
one of my favorite places so far on campus at the Rush Rhees bus stop this is right outside of the
iZone right when you walk out it's this little strip of land where the buses come to pick up
students they have several lines here at the bus stop there's the blue line the gold line orange
line different things like that my favorite's the blue line the blue line actually takes you to
college town and it's perfect for those late night insomnia runs when you're kind of hungry and want
a cookie late at night but there's so many other places you can go you can go to Eastman school of
music check out java's it's a great coffee shop but it's a really great useful resources that the
university has hi everyone welcome to the iZone as you can see the iZone is a great study space
it's very light and there's lots of colors there are a bunch of different places in the eye zone
behind me over here we have lots of little tables where you can study alone or in groups
up there there are some study booths behind there there are even lots of whiteboards you can use
up here is one of the coolest spaces there are collaborative rooms that you can book
in advance to study with your friends right now I'm standing in Hajim's engineering quad where
behind me we have Hutchinson Carlson library and the Goergen hall over there and if you're going to
be taking any stem classes so any biology physics chemistry any labs you're most likely going to be
finding yourself in this quad pretty often. This is Douglass
it's actually named after Frederick Douglass who's a famous abolitionist and he's actually native to
Rochester and over here you'll see the Douglass dining hall this is one of the main dining halls
here on campus they have a lot of different types of food options they have pizza and pasta
but they also mix up different types of foods with kosher stations and burger stations and whatnot
and i would highly recommend that you check out the nachos here the food here is amazing
thank you so much for joining us on this tour we hope you love campus.
We're looking forward to meeting you all. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions
