UR Snapshots

UR Snapshots Vol.13: Managing academics from home

The end of the school year is coming up, and that means exams, projects, essays, and everything else stressful. We asked students how they’re managing their academics from home as we buckle down for finals. 

UR Snapshots Vol.12: Revisiting old hobbies

People have found a host of new ways to keep themselves busy and entertained while homebound. We asked our UR peers about any new or regained hobbies.

UR Snapshots Vol.11: Zooming in on first-years’ online classes

After the first two weeks of Zoom classes, we reached out to first-year students to ask how they’ve been adjusting to online college so far. 

UR Snapshots Vol.10: The Yellowjackets who stayed

A quiet quad, an empty Starbucks, closed libraries — here’s what life at UR is like in the middle of a pandemic.

UR Snapshots Vol.9: Remedies for Social Distancing

Social distancing can become boring, and mindless. So we asked our fellow CT staffers what they’ve been up to during their extended spring break.   

UR Snapshots Vol. 8: Students’ favorite study spots on campus

“I’d say Rettner is my favorite study spot just because it’s bright and it’s quiet as well. If I don’t like being around a lot of people, then I think of coming here. Also, I think the library is a bit intimidating.”

UR Snapshots Vol. 6: The Douglass dining staff

I want everybody to see my university like I see it: the best of the best in all of the United States.

UR Snapshots Vol. 5: New Year’s resolutions

"I’d say my resolution is to live a year of unapologetic happiness."

UR Snapshots Vol. 4: Spooktober stories

“My neighbor would put out a giant 20-foot wooden cutout of Sarah Palin every year and that was pretty scary. It was just her head!"

UR Snapshots Vol. 3: Meliora Weekend

I was biking on campus on Friday and nearly got run over by a golf cart.
