University of Rochester Campus

Sit on the Quad, and watch the students pass!

eliora Weekend is an annual University-wide celebration that incorporates Family Weekend, Reunion, and Homecoming. Meet alumni, hear exceptional speakers, enjoy first-class entertainment, cheer on your fellow Yellowjackets, visit open houses, and join in special celebrations.

In this video, I will be touring one of our main dining halls on campus - "The Pit."

Ada gives you a look at the sketchier tunnels that they won't show you on the tours, but that most students use on a daily basis. !here_should_be_iframe! <iframe src="https://www.google.com/maps/embed/v1/streetview?key=AIzaSyDdyNxaQBOZo1XeMHjcotBK0uAFJa0VL0M&location=43.12792139813306,-77.62879463983393&heading=270&pitch=0&fov=35" width="600" height="450" frameborder="0" style="border:0" allowfullscreen></iframe> !here_should_be_latitude! 43.12792139813306 !here_should_be_longitude! -77.62879463983393

Here's a street view of the Eastman Campus. It's pretty great being downtown, immersed in the city with lots of Rochesterians going about their daily lives. It's fun to get the college experience while living in a bustling place full of non college kids! By the way, there are many trendy coffee shops to choose from in this area!

The East Wing, Eastman's new addition was opened in 2010. It's features include a Chihuly Chandelier, the Box Office, Hatch Recital Hall, and professor's studios.

The Eastman Quadrangle is named for University benefactor and Eastman Kodak founder George Eastman. The centerpiece of the River Campus, the "Quad," is the academic home of the Faculty of Arts, Sciences and Engineering, defined by the original River Campus buildings—including the landmark Rush Rhees Library—that were opened to students in 1930. The River Campus is also home to Simon Business School and the Warner School of Education.

Take a quick break to watch a mid-day student performance!

Eastman's Student living center has a cool courtyard in its center. Special events are held here! Student clubs have hosted badminton games, provided items to tie-dye shirts, and during a winter celebration there is an ice sculpture placed out here.

I talk to Josh about life at Eastman!

Welcome to my Campus Reel video tour of the University of Rochester! Hopefully, these videos will give you a sense of what it is like to go to school here. If you have any questions, feel free to email me at dbeisenb@u.rochester.edu

There are many reasons why I came to Rochester, including its mixed liberal arts and technical education, its location, and its vibe.

Here's an aerial view of Eastman campus from the 14th floor lounge of the Student Living Center. This is a tranquil place to do homework and gaze out the wall of windows and admire Eastman in all of it's glory. What a great view of downtown Rochester!

The Miller Center is home to three classrooms, the Eastman bookstore, and the Registrar and Financial Aid offices. On a non-Eastman related note, this building also is home to an architecture firm, a fair trade gift shop, a venue used for events such as performances and weddings, an upscale restaurant, and a cafe named Ludwig's, which students often frequent.

I run into Claire as she lounges in the 14th floor lounge of the Student Living Center.

I talk with Jordan about life at Eastman!

Check out my best friend Claire's dorm room on the 11th floor of the Student Living Center tower! Claire is into health and fitness loves making her own recipes. She does so with access to the student kitchen in the basement, her lounge's microwave, and her beloved blender. She has great views of Eastman buildings and Main Street! Don't you love our acting skills?

Eastman's dorm is officially called the Student Living Center, but everyone calls it the SLC. It's right across the street from Eastman and about a three minute walk. I can get from my room to my theory classroom in less than five minutes!

The Annex Building is home to classrooms, practice rooms, rehearsal spaces, and the Ensemble office. Piano practice rooms equipped with grand pianos are on the 2nd and 6th floors of the annex and in the basement. Here we will take a look at at a practice room for moderately sized string and wind instruments found on floors 3-5. There are classrooms on the 6th, 7th, and 9th floors and percussion practice rooms and a blackbox theater on the 8th.

Come with me to my theory class! This is my fifth and final semester of theory! Hooray! We composed brief pieces based on post tonal music composition techniques for our classmates to sight read. Almost every classroom at Eastman can be reserved online for rehearsals for your chamber groups, solo practice, or just plain studying.
