Haitham gives you a tour of eastman quad
Campus
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.

Haitham gives you a tour of rush rhees library
Academics
The original 1930 Library building faces the Eastman Quadrangle and is built in the Greek Revival style. This part contains the University’s historic rooms, as well as the “old stacks” and the tower. When constructed, the architects assumed that the building would at some point require an addition. The substantial addition of 1969 was “wrapped around” the back and part of the sides of the original building. The addition is of a more modern style and can easily be differentiated from the original. The main entrance to the addition is on Library Road. This newer part of the Library has a more expansive atmosphere and a much larger stack area. Today it contains the Gleason Library, the IT center, the Department of Rare Books and Special Collections and much else. Its flexible space enables a variety of uses to evolve as needed.

An inside look at rettner's makers club haitham's favorite activity on campus!
UR Makers is a fantastic new student group on campus dedicated to bridging the divide between art and technology. Students learn to work together as a team to make their ideas a reality. According to UR Makers’ president David Lippman, “Our goal is to just be a club that’s collaborative and interdisciplinary, where your skill level or your field of study doesn’t matter . We come together on Saturdays from three to five and make something cool that is not really strictly academic but at the same time isn’t just fanciful. It provides some value to the school community.”

Haitham reporting live from the dining hall!
Food
Meal swipes grant you access to the dining halls, either Danforth or Douglass. As a freshman, you will have unlimited swipes! That’s like unlimited food! The dining halls open at 8:00 am for breakfast (Douglass on weekdays, Danforth on weekends). Lunch usually lasts from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm while dinner takes place from 5:00 to 8:00 pm. You can swipe into a dining hall as many times as you would like during these times. There are a few other uses for swipes. At Meliora Grab and Go, you can use one swipe for a sandwich, salad, parfait, or soup with a fruit, drink, and a cookie. At the Pit, you can use one swipe for pizza, salad bar, or grill items from 8:00 to 10:00 pm. At Rocky’s, you can use one swipe for a sandwich, a drink, and a bag of chips from 8:00 to 10:00 pm. You get about seven guest swipes as well for visitors. So the negative of swipes are the restrictions on variety and the restrictions on time.

Haitham shows you around the digital media center!
Academics
Digital technology is changing how we do everything. More than ever, it is important to be a critical consumer and educated producer of digital media. Sometimes known as new media, digital media consists of computer-based, networked technologies that represent and imagine the world. It is the new standard for literacy in the 21st century. At Rochester, the digital media studies (DMS) major incorporates history, theory, analysis, and production of digital media from its two principal axes: science and technology, and art and humanities.

Sage Art Center houses the Studio Art program of the Dept. of Art and Art History at the University of Rochester.

Additional support is provided by faculty and staff who guide students through their artistic practice. From casual interest to intensive investigation, our program accommodates all students who wish to incorporate art into their range of experience and interests. Students individualize their experience at Sage by sampling our course offerings broadly or by focusing on medium-specific classes. Our semester-long Art New York program provides students the opportunity to experience the New York City art world through classes and internships. Studio Art Majors are vital participants in Rochester’s growing art scene and contribute significantly to culture here on campus. Senior majors receive their own studio space for the year and often serve as teaching assistants for their favorite courses.
