Not so bright
Everyone on here is complaining about this college and giving it bad review only because they wine about not having a social life. The fundamental reason why anyone should go to college is to get a degree so they can go somewhere in life not spend all their days partying and looking for ways to get drunk/ laid. The campus facilities are nice enough as they are now. We even got a new renovated library entrance which makes the campus look bigger. The bus passes are free as well so to freshman they just have to make sure they make it on time to catch a bus to the local Wegmans. Any college you go to will NOT allow freshman to have cars; this is a true fact.... now if you are commuting then you can have a car (go figure).I do agree though that some people here (students) are very ignorant, rude, and fairly unapproachable however, there are other students on campus who are more than willing to open themselves up and meet new friends. The professors here are wonderful and they always welcome you into their office for help anytime you'd like, just shoot them an e-mail. They are very helpful and very nice. Chemistry at this college though is tough so make sure you find time to get some one on one with your professor. Oh, and the majority of tests are not open book. Actually, no test that I have taken are open book. So, if you are going for a popular major, one that will get you some big bucks/ a science major, like biology or chemistry, there are no open note book tests and the chemistry homework is very very tough. Make sure you start that early and don't put it off to the last minute. If you're looking for diversity there's not much of it here though. I am an Asian American and I do see other minorities around campus but not many.

most of the other comments on this thread must have been done my students who are unhappy with their own lives or social situation or failed out. while on campus at fisher you will not be depressed like other people on here are saying. It is a small close knit school with beautiful facilities, programs and athletics. most everyone at the school comes from good family and you will not have a lot of dirtballs here. everything at fisher is bright and if you don't have a group of friends already there is plently to do on campus if you want to. the academic programs are great and the professors are okay, they will take the time to help you if you ask. campus security sucks, like any college, and so does parking if you live off campus. the food is also good all in all it is a great school and the people you will meet there are great.

Quite Bright
A great school. The education department is amazing. Social life is also good. Rochester is also the place to meet students from other colleges. For me, this school has all that I need and then some. My education courses are also excellent. Professors care and do take the time to talk to you. Athletics are important at this school and the athletic facilities are top. School of Education, pharmacy and nursing programs are highly rated. A lot of bang for your buck...
