Awesome, love seeing stuff out of Rochester - RIT or UofR or any of the nearby schools.

Totally underrated area for academic pursuits.

Indeed, it’s the same university that gave us room temperature superconductors.

UofR physic grad that also worked at the LLE here. Agree Rochester schools are underrated (although admittedly a little biased).

At least in the sciences you have access to lots of opportunities you don’t have at bigger name schools.

They set me up in life in a way that I don’t think would have happened elsewhere.

As an RIT alum, I tend to agree.

RIT is pretty well known as a good school I believe.
