It is all about the bag of pizza at LUX.
Why is Rochester so bad now?

"In recent years Rochester graduates have joined faculties at a wide range of institutions, including Brown, Columbia, Dartmouth, Duke, Harvard, Michigan, Minnesota, Northwestern, NYU, Princeton, Rice, Stanford, Ohio State, UCLA, UCSD, UNC, Washington, and Yale University, as well as other universities and colleges throughout the world."
Granted, it's no UC Irvine, or TAMU, or whatever s**tholes you people on this thread hail from.

Fine. Let's look at the last five years:
Caltech
Emory (x2)
Florida State
Houston
Notre Dame
Pittsburgh
Vanderbilt (x2)
WashingtonNot too shabby, though obviously not CHYMPS-level, and that doesn't include some lower R1s/LACs/directionals, nor does it include placement this year (Princeton for sure, with another person with a TAMU offer on the table).

Other schools with better locations and more resources copied what they were doing. Then what they were doing became less fashionable anyway.
Rochester grad here,
Pretty much on the money. Oh and in case you don't believe I'm an alum, Nick Tahou's, The Old Toad, Cheesy Edie's, and "See me, Dick."How does that prove you were at Rochester? You just rattled off a bunch of common knowledge. If you were really a Rochester grad, you’d be talking about the 19th Ward Walmart and the Blunt Store.
see me dick isn't common knowledge.

So the trajectory is downward.

We need to evaluate the quality of the faculty and training and its funding for new hires to judge whether a department is going to continue to be important in producing PhDs. Rochester has issues, but compared with most of the publics, it is in very good shape.
Due to the market, the trajectory in placement is downward everywhere. Having a niche, as Rochester does, will keep it above average in per capita placement for top-25 departments.

My cab driver in Hamilton, NJ mentioned Cheesy Eddie's to me when I said I used to live in Rochester. Oh, and the guy who mentioned the gold cash register at the bar near Gitsis actually went to grad school there.
No s**t. I talk to that guy like every day. He's a dick.
