Undergraduate residential students are budgeted $12,822 for housing and $8,506 for food in the university's 2026–27 cost-of-attendance estimate; off-campus estimates are $5,716 for housing and $6,670 for food. These are planning allowances, not guaranteed rent or meal-plan prices. Graduate students should use their programme's current estimate: Simon's 2026–27 MS budget lists $10,206 housing and $6,273 food, while its MBA estimate lists $11,340 and $6,970.

Rochester's official cost-of-attendance pages provide separate food allowances for residential and off-campus students rather than promising a fixed meal cost. Students should confirm current campus dining plans, dietary accommodations and nearby grocery options with University Dining and their residence assignment before budgeting; the published 2026–27 undergraduate food estimates are $8,506 residential and $6,670 off campus.

The River Campus is in Rochester, western New York, with Arts, Sciences & Engineering enrolling 6,917 students in 2024–25 and the university reporting more than 11,000 students overall. The Rochester Curriculum lets undergraduates combine a major with clusters and electives. Hajim engineering and computer science students can access research, internships, co-op and the nearby University of Rochester Medical Center; Simon students study at its graduate business campus.

University safety and emergency procedures should be checked through the university's current campus-safety resources and student orientation. The practical point for applicants is that Rochester has multiple campuses and a nearby medical center, while housing, transport and winter conditions vary by location. Students should keep emergency contacts, health-insurance instructions and after-hours support details with their arrival documents. International undergraduates apply through the Common Application or Coalition/Scoir and must submit English proficiency evidence or request a waiver. Rochester's International Services Office supports immigration and arrival needs; Simon separately lists an International Services Office fee for graduate budgets. Students should confirm current visa, orientation, housing and health-insurance instructions after admission.
