[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lake effect snow is no joke. Average snowfall in Rochester is 102 inches. I live in Western PA and our average snowfall is 44 inches. Weather aside, it’s a good academic school.[/quote]

U Rochester itself actually does not get that much "lake effect snow".  That is Buffalo.  
In the last 2 years, while buffalo gets 7 ft, Rochester gets a dusting.  They haven't had more than 3-4 in at a time in last 2 years on campus---maybe 12-20 in total.  They are 10-15 miles from the lake (where the 120 in might occur).

The volume and disruption caused by snow is very low compared to what people think (as in Buffalo).

The hard part is the lack of sun from January to April. It’s very grey and very bleak for days (weeks?) on end. And it gets very cold. Lots of 20 degree days in Jan/Feb.

But the weather from May-November/December is gorgeous. Plus campus is pretty, and the school is excellent. The humanities teachers teach (I know two) and there are always author/speaker events on campus to showcase additional perspectives l. I agree that it’s an underrated gem! (BTW, Mamy students stay after graduation or come back 5-10 years later, after having a kid or two. It’s a great place to raise a family! The COL is low compared to NY/Boston/DC, and the east side public schools are excellent[/quote]
