Alot of people say that Ithaca is average,BrightCommunications
Alot of people say that Ithaca is average, or not a party school. Here is the thing with IC, it depends how you want it to be. Personally, i find it a great party school, you can go to different houses or any underground frats, that's a common misconception, there ARE a few frats. Also, everyone is super friendly and the campus is beautiful. Yes, the cold gets rough but it's not as bad as everyone makes it seem. Ithaca is what you make it!

Question
Everything about this school is average.BrightFinance
Everything about this school is average. Most of my professors have no idea how to create a lesson plan, let alone teach. Half the professors go on tangents about random shit that is completely irrelevant. Many of the students spend class time on their laptops playing games or going on Facebook; there's rarely any class engagement or discussion because nobody cares.

The campus center and most of the buildings have the atmosphere of a McDonalds that was built in the early 90's. Buildings are really unattractive, smelly, and poorly maintained.

Don't even think about attending this school unless it's your only choice. Also, work hard in high school so you don't end up going to a college that is AVERAGE, or in other words, shitty.

Question
Ithaca is really a great school when goingSuper BrilliantPsychology
Ithaca is really a great school when going into one of its better programs. Those programs include Music, Theater, Health Sciences, and Communication. The Psychology department is great too. Social life is a bit weird here. There is not much of a party life and I feel as if people tend to be clique-ish. Everyone is very friendly however. Being on a sports team or an established club really helps socially.
