-Very
engaging curriculum with a proper amount of difficulty.
-Science-bent school with weaker departments in most of the humanities
(Social sciences are very strong, though, except maybe Anthropology and
History).
-If you are looking for a challenge,
it's possible to take 5 courses a semester (overloading) at
no extra cost.
-Mediocre social life and boring city.
-Cold.
-Very nice campus, but the excessive snow can
take its toll on the facilities.
-Oh, food sucks.
Besides the problems with food quality and high tuition costs,
the school tends to provide a positive atmosphere for students.
Unfortunately, the location of the university is less than
ideal. I believe the benefits, such as academic quality,
rising reputation, and innovative curriculum, not to mention top-notch facilities,
can outweigh any minor qualms one may have with the
U of R.
