The U of R (the University of Rochester) is affiliated with a major Hospital in this area. The hospital is literally right across the street from the school's campus and both take up several city blocks. The U of R is also one of the major employers in the area ATM. I was lucky enough to land a temp assignment in the University for a few months an loved it, but it did not turn permanent.

I would consider Rochester a medium-sized US city and the U of R is definitely not an ivory league but I found the campus to be impressive. It has four different libraries, An Apple store, a cafeteria that includes 5 or 6 different fast food chains, a cluster of parking lots that have shuttles to take you from the campus to your car when school is in session and because I love gems, rock and minerals I did have to notice that it also has an entire hallway lined with glass showcases of huge and spectacular specimens from around the globe. When I found that hallway I spent so much time wandering up and down it, people were starting to notice and coming out of the offices to keep an eye on me lols. The University also has tunnels underneath it too that the student use to get from building to building in the winter or when they in a hurry because it is quicker. Both the school and the hospital have much smaller satellite locations that are located around the city as well. Since there are about 4 or 5 different hospitals in Rochester I haven't had much of a chance to interact with the hospital affiliated with the U of R but I do remember the U of R being connected to the human genome project at one point (I think that project is still being conducted).
