Computer Interest Floor

On the 3rd floor of Anderson Tower lives a unique group of people. We are the Computer Interest Floor, a special interest housing group at the University of Rochester whose interests and activities are as diverse and numerous as our members. With a history going back to 1983, we’re just as involved and dedicated to the university community as when we provided some of the few computing resources on campus.

  • New Website!

    Hello all! We have updated the CIF website! The old one was quite a bit dated and definitely needed a refresh. After over 9 years, we hope it has been worth the wait.

If we can’t break it, it wasn’t running to begin with.
