About Student Housing in Rochester
Rochester, NY is a mid-sized Great Lakes city of around 210,000 with a history of making cameras and optics. Rochester Institute of Technology anchors the student scene from its Henrietta campus south of downtown, and its co-op culture fills the city with engineers, designers, and photographers year round. The Genesee River cuts through the middle, dropping three waterfalls inside city limits, and the Genesee Riverway Trail links Olmsted-designed parks and the Erie Canal. Students drift toward Park Avenue for its tree-lined blocks, the South Wedge for its artsy lean, and Highland Park for the spring lilac festival. Add Lake Ontario beaches, a busy farmers market, and a serious winter, and you've got a city that rewards anyone who leaves their dorm.
Best Neighborhoods for Students in Rochester
Henrietta
The default for RIT students since it's closest to campus, packed with larger apartment complexes, and served directly by the campus shuttle.
Park Avenue
This draws upperclassmen who want tree-lined streets, walkable blocks, and a social scene, with older homes split into units.
South Wedge
An artsy, laid-back area with independent storefronts and easy bus routes toward downtown, popular with students who want character over convenience.
