I'm glad I live in Rochester, Minnesota. Far better than other cities. Rochester International Airport just needs more destinations.

Get the Rochester, Minnesota mug.Rochester has its pros and cons just like every other city. It is also widely hated among some stereotyping people on urban dictionary.
Rochester has a very unique vibe going on. On one hand you have the classy east side, with it's old stone mansions including the George Eastman House.
The west side is viewed straight up gangsta which can be viewed as good or bad thing. But I can tell you that people that don't live on the west side, have no idea about how friendly some people are there. Like on Avenue D, with all the Latino mothers throwing BBQ partys that the whole neighborhood is invited too. How they DON'T make you feel like an alien because of your race or how you look, but rather make you feel like part of their family even if you are a complete stanger. This is the side of Rochester that you can only see if you loosen up, and stop worrying about being shot when a dude with a baggy shirt and bandana walks past you.
I'm not going to lie to you and say that there's no violence because it's the inner city - Of course there is! But I think that people are only seeing the negative. And its time that someone show them another side.

Get the Roacher mug.The real life version of Liberty City in the Grand Theft Auto series. Lots of celebrities homegrown, lots of crime, lots of corruption, too many cops around - and plenty of disrespectful pedestrians!
Don't forget the failed fast-ferry system that also occurred in Liberty City Stories! Damn, man!

Get the Rochester mug.Founded in a frozen section of Hell during a blood ritual in 1850, the University of Rochester was born from the womb of Satan. It has festered and swollen ever since.
All jokes (sort of) aside, it is a lesser known, yet prominent school in "upstate" New York within the city of Rochester, known for Xerox, Kodak, Bausch and Lomb, and Genny Cream Ale. Though the population of the school is indeed bright, they lack almost all social skills, as can be seen by the half filled sidewalks of the only good bar district (Alexander Street) on Thursday through Saturday night.
Fighting back against campus authority, the Fraternity quad still stands, though slowly losing ground as more and more socially inept student groups take over their houses during times of probation. Though that would seem to kill off any sort of social atmosphere there may be on campus, it just tends to move students towards smaller groups of alcoholics who either stay in their rooms with their bottles of Mohawk, or venture across the bridge to the frat and other parties off campus where security can't bust them.
Aside from the few good points of campus (cheap alcohol and good academics) the school is plagued with many shortcomings. These being : shitty food, shitty food service workers, janitors that don't do their job, campus security that would rather protect you from yourself when you're drinking than from the person stealing your TV while you're being written up, campus parking that will boot your car on move in day outside your building, as well as 6 months of no sun during the winter.
With a strong Engineering school, namely their Optical Engineering and Biomedical Engineering fields, as well as good psychology, political science and computer science, most students seem to, strangely, gravitate towards the easier majors of Math, Economics or English after a year or two of hard classes. It doesn't matter much anyway, though, since many students go into some sort of graduate school or get a job not in thier field anyway.
30 racks of Keystone can be found for $13 at Wegman's and a garbage plate is always a good way to finish the night off.

Wear lots of layers or drink lots of whiskey, cause you're gonna need something to warm you up.
University of Rochester parking is actually Hell spawn called upon through the sacrifice of those sent to the hospital for "intoxication". Daemons have to eat, too, you know.

Get the University of Rochester mug.The type of woman that makes all other women seem petty. She's a lady of grace and style; virtue and poise. One of those rare persons who actually pays attention to your life. She'll remember something you said or did months ago and surprise you. Every moment spent with her is memorable and makes you long for the next time you see her. She'll make you laugh, support you and give you love, but most of all she'll make you a better man.
