Rochester Mn is nice place to live. It where the mayo clinic is located and it one of the safest place i have ever lived in. I moved here in the 8th grade and went up to 11th grade. But then i moved to Moorhead and graduated from there. Nice community never really have any real problems.
other than it is close to downtown, we like the area
Rochester is very diverse. I've lived here all my life. Everyone is super friendly around here. I'm the type who likes to meet new people and have conversations.
