Rochester Effect

This effect is felt upon spending extended periods of time in the dark, dreary, depressing town of Rochester, NY. It is commonly associated with binge drinking and depression.

My life was going great until I moved to Rochester and felt the full effects of the Rochester Effect.

University of Rochester

Although located in what many would consider the armpit of America, the University of Rochester is an institution of higher learning held in surprisingly high regard both internationally and domestically. Internationally, according to the Times of London, the University of Rochester ranks 73 substantially ahead of many well reputed schools including Dartmouth and admittedly below many of the world's most renowned schools. Domestically, according to US News, the University of Rochester fluctuates in the low 30's and high 20's. Its large endowment and excellent research opportunities make the University of Rochester an excellent stepping stone for future admissions into graduate school. Overall, Rochester is a great place to obtain an education but not such a great place to have a social life.

Its fucking freezing and I'm miserable, thank god I busted my ass in high school to get a 1450 on the SAT and a 4.0 GPA so that I could come to the University of Rochester!

Rochester Red Hot

The art of soaking one penis in a bottle of Frank's Original RedHot Cayenne Pepper Sauce, and then having sex with someone. Some say it functions as a perfect spermicide.

Joab: "Dude, I took my date to Nick Tahoe's last nite."
Doc: "Really? What did you get?"
Joab: "I got a cheeseburger plate with Mac and Home Fries."
Doc: "What did your date get?"
Joab: "She a vegatarian, but I did give her a Rochester Red Hot!"
Doc: "Cool, at least you won't be a daddy!"

Punk Rockers

probably the coolest group of people you would ever meet. not cool as in they are the height of fashion and popular with everyone. cool as in, they are nice to people who respect the scene and dont stereotype people. they accept everyone and listen to peoples ideas and actually think about things while rocking out.

punk rockers ARE: cool, fun, thoughtful, intelligent, understanding

punk rockers are NOT: all potheads, stuck up, or selfish

Rochester Idea

A (typically) costly solution to a problem that didn't exist.

The Fast Ferry to Toronto was a great Rochester Idea.

The Renaissance Square Theater above the Bus Depot is another great Rochester Idea.

Rochester Century High School

Located in Rochester, Minnesota Century is the largest of the three public schools. It looks as though it was designed so if the school fails it could easily be converted to a prison. Century is also academically the strongest of schools in Rochester being ranked in Newsweek's top high schools in the country, it has higher AP scores, ACT/SAT scores and GPA's than the other Rochester schools. The downsides of this are that a 3.5 GPA could possibly get you in the 50th percentile of your class, also the sport culture at century is lack luster compared to the other schools in town. The teams aren't bad, just not many people care or go to games of any kind. Century is seen as being the richest and most pretentious of the public schools, this isn't true when you look at how many doctors kids go to rival Mayo High School. People from century hate mayo, and no one takes John Marshall high school seriously.

Person 1: Where do you go to school?
Person 2: Rochester Century High School
Person 1: Oh, I go to Mayo... I hate you
Person 3: Uhh I go to JM
People 1 & 2: Ha! That's funny!
