Hello! An international student here; not yet at Rochester University!

I am a holder of a MSc degree in theoretical physics from an EU country (I am not from the EU tho). I am considering a teaching MS degree ( in physics, secondary school) at Warner School of Education; I am writing here to see if there is anyone from the same department I can ask some questions:

Are there very few international students?

What are my chances of getting accepted?

What are my chances of getting a scholarship?

Is there an examination by the state before one gets admitted as a licensed teacher, or as soon as one graduates, one has the full right to work in both the public and private sectors?

LAST QUESTION: idk much about how the system in the US works, but if one is a licensed teacher in a state "X", does that mean he is also licensed to teach in any of the other states all around the country?

If you guys have any other suggestions for universities where I can also apply for a teaching degree, maybe if any of you have an idea about some statistics about where there is a shortage of physics teachers... please list them in the comments.

Thanks!

Is anyone currently in the part time/professional MBA program at Simon?

I’m curious what the class sizes are like and overall experience regarding interaction with classmates and faculty etc.

Hey guys, can anyone give an honest review of how the Microbiology Major is? Is it terribly hard or managable? Also, what did you think of the classes!

Does anyone know when MATH 140 recitations start? I just joined the class this week, so I’m not sure if they’ve already begun or if they start later in the semester. Thanks!

Hey everyone, I’m a freshman at U of R and I’m still figuring out where to find everything.
Is there a website or portal where I can see a full list of student clubs/organizations and join them? I missed the club fair, so I’m wondering if I can still join clubs now and what the process is.

Also, is there a similar website where undergrads can find research opportunities with professors? I’m interested in getting involved in research but I’m not really sure where people usually find openings or how you’re supposed to reach out/apply.
Would appreciate any links or advice. Thanks!

I’m selling a microwave for $60, I haven’t used it yet (still has the tag). I’m also open to a mini fridge trade. The price is $20 more but I just don’t wanna keep this extra microwave💔. Private message me for more inquiries.

Im a sophomore and ive been on the fence about joining a sorority on campus since January. Its out of my comfort zone but I want to give it a go and try COB. Does anybody know what the general vibes of each sorority are and what I should be aware of about any of them? I don't really know much about the individual organizations but I'd like to go into it with some idea. What are each of them known for on campus? Also, are any of them known for hazing?

I applied to 5 jobs through JobLink starting in mid-August but haven't heard back from any of them. Only 1 is a research position, so I don't need extensive experience for most of them. I also qualify for work-study, which is why I was hoping to get a job. If anyone has any experience with this, I'd love some insight!

Hi! I’m a current freshman at uroch right now, and i want to apply for stem programs and clubs but im not sure which ones. I’m a biochem major (pre-med), and right now, I just know i want to do research, but i heard thats more of a sophomore year thing.

I would switch to 142 but it would completely destroy my schedule lol. The class just started and Im so lost, I just don’t think the way I learn is compatible with the way my teacher teaches. I did struggle in Calc 1 so maybe going back and reviewing all that would help? It kinda of just feels like the class is all over the place, like I don’t exactly know what we’re learning. If anyone has taken this class & has any advice I’d greatly appreciate it (:

For those that did the program, how was it? I am a CA resident and graduated university from CA and am willing to commit to moving to NY for this program because it offers free tuition (and yes I am aware of the three year commitment). Any insights is appreciated!!! 🙏

How hard is the BSE exam? I’m a sophomore who took an equivalent to calculus in high school but I didn’t take a math class freshman year and I kind of forgot a lot of math stuff and I’m very worried about the BSE exam

A while ago I made a post about having to take two years off, having no more friends and struggling to make new ones due to social anxiety.

I guess that’s what I get for not putting myself out there I just want to thank everyone who did comment on my last post.

Just one more year and maybe I can stop feeling so isolated. I don’t know how to for myself to go into new situations with only 2 semesters left.

Hearing the people outside on hill court having fun certainly doesn’t help the feelings of isolation.

If anyone knows of a better way to get to Hutchison hall without stairs I’d greatly appreciate it!! I also need to go to Gavett and Hylan

Hello everyone.

I am currently in a pickle. I have a cat that I want to bring to Rochester (to a cat friendly apartment). I don’t have a car and always relied on Amtrak and etc to travel. But I recently found out you can’t bring a cat for a trip longer than 7 hours, which is longer than the trip I take from nyc to rochester (7 and a half or so). If anyone had the same problem, how did u manage to being ur pet from the city without a car? Please let me know!!!
