all it will take is one heavy flood and that university is fucked. putting a large campus in a river bend area? in the northeast ? after a shitton of snow melt? really?
looks pretty, but doesn't look very safe. |
It's been safe since the 1850, and Rochester gets a shit ton of snow every year which subsequently melts, so I think they'll be okay. (You can't see from that picture but there's about a 15-20 foot hill where all the trees are between the river at the campus). The chapel (the closest building to the river)'s first two floors are below ground level, if that gives you a better idea.
