I don't think there is much of a difference between renting a whole house or an apartment. Just whatever you can afford and are more comfortable in.

i head last week

The area right around the school is not bad at all! However there aren't really apartment buildings just house apartments (which I prefer). When searching on craigslist look places near the University of Rochester or Strong Memorial Hospital (sometimes called the "white-coat ghetto" because so many of the med students/residents/nursing students live there). Also don't be too worried about potentially living surrounded by undergrads, very few live off campus. This area is also pretty affordable. If you don't want to live in the city and would prefer a suburb and/or have a family and are concerned about schools, Brighton is nice (~20min away) but will be more expensive. If you want to be in the "trendy" area of Rochester the Park Ave neighborhood or the South Wedge both are filled with young professionals, cool places to eat and drink, and are within a 10min drive. I actually bike in to Strong every day from the South Wedge and it takes 17min. Parking on campus is both really expensive and very limited so if you are up for biking/walking I recommend it.

i also received a call that i am accepted! I live/work in rochester so if anyone has questions about the area i would be happy to help

Nothing. I'm staring to get nervous.

EEK! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

Thanks! I hope it goes just as smoothly for me as it sounds like you interview did. If I could pry a bit. What do you think allowed you to stand out as a candidate and eventually get an acceptance?

Hey Everyone, I just applied to the May cohort and had my interview scheduled on the same day that they received my application. Does anyone one if this is a good sign/something to read into? Also does Anyone have any advice for my upcoming interview? What I should/shouldn't emphasize? Congrats to all who have been accepted for January! Thanks!
