I had a great time at UR in the early 90’s because they had the most computing hardware per interested student in the country. I was able to relatively quickly work my way up to access to pretty much any system the school owned that I wanted, including the Cray at the LLE.
At least in the sciences you have access to lots of opportunities you don’t have at bigger name schools.
They set me up in life in a way that I don’t think would have happened elsewhere.
