Moving to Rochester Institute of Technology -what should I know?

So, I'm a teacher here and Household incomes average around $19,420 in Rochester Institute of Technology. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The weather takes some getting used to. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The suburbs are where most families end up.

The food scene here is better than expected. Tons of great Mediterranean places. it's improved dramatically in recent years.

I've lived in Fairview for about 6 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

it's exactly what I was looking for. When I first moved here from Denver, I was surprised by weather. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Active local events and festivals
- Close to major attractions
- The housing market scene is pretty good

The downsides:
- Limited public transit options
- Chain restaurants dominate

Overall I'd rate it 8/10 for singles. No regrets on my end..
