[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another University of Rochester graduate. I didn’t mind the cold and I had fun at first but it’s very Greek heavy and International.  I was assigned a Physics Professor as a counselor and I think I met with him once. Zero help for a first generation college student.  I had friends but no friendships that lasted. Once I stopped drinking and partying I basically felt alone because I didn’t join a sorority.  Basically zero career or academic counseling. I made it out ok but not because of help or guidance from the school.  I hope that’s changed.  As a first generation college student I wouldn’t have considered transferring but I guess in hindsight that could’ve been an option.  As a cute, white, smart girl I know I had it easier than most and it still was barely enough.  I would only recommend it for my child if they were interested in pre med, physics, or business.

Sounds a lot like me, but at a no Greek SLAC. Envy the greater understanding shown towards first gen students now, but also thrilled for them. May they graduate without the self doubt that has periodically plagued me over my career.[/quote]
