Closest big city: Rochester

In my opnion this school sets the standard for the rest of the trip to see if we can find a program as good as this one in a more interesting location.

Geneva is not a bustling metroplis...as Hannah said, there will be not day trips to Boston or New York

However, after visiting Rochester, I can see that is a bustling metropolis! so that has clear possibilities...
