Student Life: Performing arts, sports, and fitness, student clubs, and organizations provide RCTC students with more options than you would expect at a two-year college. RCTC is large enough to be able to provide countless opportunities for students to take their college experience beyond the traditional classroom. But RCTC is small enough for students to immediately engage and become actively involved.
Housing: RCTC believes that housing selection is an important part of the college experience. Since we are a commuter campus, we encourage students to explore the array of housing options in Rochester, including housing options dedicated to students.
