Uraian Tempat

Anthropology is the comparative study of humanity. At its broadest, it seeks to understand the origin and diversification of human adaptations to the natural and social environment. Thus physical anthropologists study the evolution of human anatomy and archeologists study the artifacts left behind by human manipulation of the natural world. But the most complex and diverse products of human activity are the languages, social relations and cultural meanings humans have developed. It is these invisible artifacts that linguistic, cultural and social anthropologists study. The department of Anthropology at the University of Rochester specializes in this aspect of humanity: the comparative study of contemporary human cultures and societies.

The University of Rochester provides University housing for more of its post baccalaureate students than most comparable institutions. However, University housing is not guaranteed for all who are eligible and wish to live in University facilities. The University maintains five apartment complexes that serve graduate students, medical students, and postgraduate trainees. Each of these complexes has nearby off-street parking, coin-operated laundry facilities, and University bus service. People with children will find safe playgrounds at University Park and Whipple Park. These two complexes, as well as the Graduate Living Center Maisonettes, have broad lawn areas nearby for outdoor activities. Goler House and University Towne House have a somewhat more urban atmosphere, closer to stores, restaurants, and public transportation. All freshmen, as well as a very select group of upperclass resident advisors and other upperclass support students, live in the freshman residence halls. Approximately 1,200 freshmen and upperclass students live in the Susan B. Anthony Halls and in Gilbert, Hoeing, and Tiernan Halls in the Quad. Susan B. Anthony, on the crest of the hill, is bounded by the Rush Rhees Library, Fauver Stadium, the Towers Residence complex, and a natural area. All freshman halls have been renovated in recent years and offer unique living opportunities for their freshman students. Most freshmen will share a double room with another freshman student; however, there also are a limited number of single rooms that will house freshman students. There are some triple rooms. Every room on River Campus has a wired high-speed computer connection (ResNet), per student, to the University’s systems and the Internet. In addition, each room has a cable outlet. The following items are provided for every room: a bed, desk and chair, bookcase, dresser, closet space, a shared wastebasket, window coverings.
