Making the Most of Your Campus Tour

Of all parts of the college application process, I always found campus tours to be the most fun. Rather than just writing essays, studying for standardized tests, and comparing programs, tours are your first real chance to imagine yourself as a college student and really see yourself attending a particular school. It’s when the idea of going off to college pretty soon starts to feel real. 

Once you visit more than a few schools, all the tours and information sessions can start to blend together. So, here are some tips on how to make the most of your time while you are visiting the University of Rochester (or any school!).

Ask the questions you really want to hear the answers to:

Your campus tour is not an interview. Remember, the people who lead the tours are not administrators, they are current students. This is your chance to ask questions about living and personal experiences that you are actually interested in. There’s no shame in asking anything! 

Information about things like degree requirements and acceptance rates can be found on the University of Rochester website. Tour guides sign up to give personal experiences and will be honest, so don’t be afraid to ask unconventional questions.

Consider sitting in on a class:

If you have a little extra time to spare, consider choosing a class to sit in on and listen. This can help you get a feel for the school and the types of classes offered here. When I went on my campus tour, I went on the University of Rochester Course Descriptions/Course Schedule (CDCS) website and looked up classes related to my interests at the time. Once I found courses that sounded interesting, I emailed two professors and asked if I could join one of their lectures, and both said yes! 

Check out Rochester’s CDCS

This by no means has to determine what you plan on studying in college. It is just a good tool to help determine if you can really see yourself as a student here. This is the email I sent, which can be used as a template: 

Dear Professor (NAME),

My name is Rachel Markowitz and I am a high school senior from Westfield, New Jersey. I am applying to University of Rochester, most likely early decision, and am considering studying psychology. I am visiting for an admissions interview on September 30 to October 1 and am interested in sitting in on a psychology class while I am here. I was wondering if it would be possible for me to sit in on the 2:00 Introduction to Psychology class on September 30th. Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to hearing from you!

Sincerely,  Rachel Markowitz

It is not a guarantee that professors will have space in their classrooms, but it never hurts to ask. Remember to be polite and professional when reaching out — these can end up being your professors in the future. 

Know any current students? Reach out!

This tip is not applicable to everyone, but if you happen to know anyone who is a current student, they can be an amazing resource for getting to know the school. A guest swipe into the dining hall, a quick trip to the campus Starbucks, or a peek inside of a dorm room can help you figure out if you can really see yourself attending a school. On my visit to the University of Rochester, I got lunch at the Pit and then spent a few minutes in one of the lounges in a first-year dorm hall. This helped me gain a better understanding of the social scene and vibe of the student body.

colleges of rochester tour

If you don’t have any connections to current students, I still encourage you to explore a little bit on and off campus. Really get a feel for the area and see if it is a place you could imagine yourself. 

Campus tours are your chance to learn the things about campus life that cannot be found on a university website or brochure. Take this opportunity to be present and really imagine yourself at the schools you visit. This will help you decide what school is the best fit for you, and make a knowledgeable decision of where you want to spend the next four years.

Rochester Tunnels

The tunnels are crucial to the University of Rochester's campus. As the cold, windy upstate NY weather is relentless, between the months of Novermber and May, most students choose to commute to class via our tunnel network rather than face the outdoors. As Ada walks to Model UN, she films one of the major tunnels which runs underneath the Eastman Quad. !here_should_be_iframe! <iframe src="https://www.google.com/maps/embed/v1/streetview?key=AIzaSyDdyNxaQBOZo1XeMHjcotBK0uAFJa0VL0M&location=43.12793269296558,-77.62994063025423&heading=270&pitch=0&fov=35" width="600" height="450" frameborder="0" style="border:0" allowfullscreen></iframe> !here_should_be_latitude! 43.12793269296558 !here_should_be_longitude! -77.62994063025423

The following is an computer-generated summary of the video transcript.

Now I am heading to our awesome tunnel system to go to my favorite club. I'll give you guys a quick look at the tunnels. This is where students can paint, publicize their events and their clubs. You can tell this is a tradition that's been going on for quite a while. Not all the tunnels look like this, but this is definitely my favorite. Hopefully I'll be able to give you guys a glimpse at Model U. N while I'm there.

Frozen Four: History and team records

City of Rochester seeks new management for Blue Cross Arena

colleges of rochester tour

Rochester is looking for someone to manage the Blue Cross Arena . Mayor Malik Evans announced on Tuesday the city has officially released a Request for Proposals (RFP) regarding the operation and management of the 14,000-seat arena at the War Memorial. This initiative is part of the City's Roc the Riverway project, which includes a $7 million upgrade for the arena.

The news does not affect the Rochester Americans’ or Knighthawks’ occupancy.

“The Blue Cross Arena is one of the jewels that keeps our city vibrant,” Evans said. “We continue to build tremendous momentum in redefining our center city as a place where people desire to live, work, and play, and the Blue Cross Arena at the War Memorial is central to that goal.”

Rochester Arena, LLC , an entity connected to the Pegula family, presently operates the Blue Cross Arena. On Oct. 14, 2019, the entity entered an arena license agreement with the city but the contract contained a clause allowing them to opt out of the license agreement by providing the city with 180 days advance written notice.

On March 28, 2024, Rochester Arena submitted a written notice indicating their decision to opt-out. However, they will continue managing the Arena until April 30, 2025. At that point, the Arena operator chosen through the RFP process will assume full responsibility for its operation and management.

The April 30 deadline provides a six-month transition period for the incoming operator, who is expected to begin their duties in October of the same year.

Prospective bidders must meet certain criteria, including successfully managing at least one all-purpose arena seating a minimum of 10,000 individuals within the last three years. 

The city will provide tours for interested parties on April 16 and April 23, with proposal submissions due by May 17.
