Ithaca College

This school is certainly fun, but it can not be for some people. If your close-minded or straight edge, this may not be the place. But if your just the average kid who wants to go to a decent college and have fun, its for you.

social- if you want to to party, theres always a party. they are easy to find out about and get into. there are so many options- off and on campus in walking distance, and cornell is so accessible. its nice to not have to deal with greek life on campus but to be able to go to their parties. older kids go to collegetown bars on wednesday nights and thursday night parties are common. if you like to smoke weed, go here. theres also plenty of concerts and live music here.

education- some classes are hard, some really easy. it depends on the level and amount of kids in a class. i have some classes with 80 plus, yet some classes with only ten. The mix is pleasant because it offers some variety and a break if you need it for a content heavy courseload. some majors are certainly harder than others. communications and health sciences are great programs. professors very willing to help.

location- downtown ithaca is a cute, liberal little town. coverd in coffee shops, tatto parlors, and places to get burritos. Some excellent restuaraunts and bars for if you want to get out. the views are gorgeous int he spring and summer.

food- mediocre at best. late night delivery makes up for this
people- many people from long island or the city. some hipsters and princesses. very open gay popuation. most people just normal, willing to talk and esp. party with you. not too cliquey but a variety of personalities mesh here. think dumb jocks + alternative indie rockers.

Ithaca is what you make of it. There are SO many student groups that are active and welcoming to new members. If your ideal group doesn't exist yet, start it yourself. It's easy enough to get money from the Student Gov't funds. There's a very active local music scene, and tons of cool little bars and coffee shops with live music and delicious food. If you just sit in your room, or go to the same parties every weekend, yeah you'll be bored. But if you check out the fliers covering every bulletin board, or read the campus paper, you'll find lots of stuff to do other than go to parties.

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!
