A New "Any Questions?" Thread

<p>Very stupid and utterly silly question: Do Frats charge for Frat parties...</p>

<p>Usually no.</p>

<p>negative...</p>

<p>Almost never. It would be illegal to charge, and then serve beer, without a liquor license.</p>

<p>Most people will only "charge" for a party if it is a donation for charity.</p>

<p>...maybe if there's strippers or something that needs to be tipped ;)</p>

<p>What is the profile (SAT range and GPA) for OOS students admitted to the AEM program?</p>

<p>Any related info is appreciated. Thanks.</p>

<p>i dont think they list separate OOS stats for stuff like that</p>

<p>If you're unsure about your major, are there people that will help you decide?
If so, how helpful are the people?</p>

<p>When you need help with something (like hw), is it hard to find someone to help you?</p>

<p>Does the Greek life dominate the social scene?</p>

<p>I know Ithaca is far from NYC, but do people still take trips there?</p>

<p>Is there a lot to do downtown in Ithaca?</p>

<p>Is ED binding?</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Yes, you are assigned an advisor and there is a whole advising office in each college to help you. You can talk to professors or upperclassmen too.</p></li>
<li><p>I did all my homework in groups of at least 5, and I'm an engineer (which is falsely rumored to be cutthroat).</p></li>
<li><p>It's one-third of the student population, but that's a large number of students. It's can dominate your social scene, if you want it to, because there's 3000 people in it, but remember that it's only 1/3 of students, so the other 2/3 aren't directly involved (besides going to parties, which not everybody does).</p></li>
<li><p>Sometimes. There are buses. Personally, I don't see the need. The campus is freaking unbelievable.</p></li>
<li><p>Yes. Explore here: <a href="http://www.visitithaca.com/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.visitithaca.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li>
<li><p>Yes, that is the definition of ED.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Oh, ok. I'm just realizing there is a difference between EA and ED.</p>

<p>I guess I should have asked does Cornell have EA?</p>

<p>No, because Cornell does ED.</p>

<p>Cornell has multiple choice ED!</p>

<p>U can apply EA anywhere AND ED only to Cornell (Provided EA is also multiple-choice)
I, for instance, did EA Chicago and ED Cornell. But, if you are accepted, u have to enroll</p>

<p>You can only apply ED to one school, and you must attend if accepted. Cornell also allows you to apply EA to other schools, which is non-binding, but remember that you're going to Cornell if they accept you ED.</p>

<p>yeah i know ithaca has a crazy classical scene...i havnt really heard about jazz. thanks guys</p>

<p>Ok...Here's a very odd question...</p>

<p>Cornell's a pretty big place. And, coming from small schools, some off us would most probably feel lost in the first few weeks or so.
I, for instance, would miss my HS friends a lot (I've been with them for 12years and they kno me every possible way). It'll take a lot of time before I make the right sort of friends at Cornell.
I'm pretty sure most of you must have undergone the same...How did you deal with the sensation of being alone, even tho you have so many ppl arnd you?</p>

<p>I never felt lost. The trick is being AS SOCIAL AND OUTGOING AS POSSIBLE the first month of school.</p>

<p>Somebody told me before I got to college, "You have one month, maybe two, where you can randomly go up and say hi to anybody. Take advantage of that."</p>

<p>yeah, it's very true, and very good advice. the first week of school, you can walk up to anybody you've never met and say hi. including really hot girls...haha</p>

<p>Hmm, I've got a few questions:</p>

<p>For all the non-Engineering majors out there from Cornell, are you isolated from all the Engineering majors? (A weird question I know)</p>

<p>Do people mostly stay on-campus or in the area or are there are lot who leave after classes are over?</p>

<p>No. I am a music major. I took a class that was over 90% engineers this semester: Physics 112. I took it for fun. Also, half of my hall was engineers. so yeah, no isolation between any schools. </p>

<p>In the summer most students go home, but MANY stay and take classes or work in ithaca. like i said, most go home, but there are still a lot who stick around. winter is another story. people who can go home usually do.</p>

<p>if you were talking about leaving cornell after classes are over each day, then no. the social life revolves completely around cornell and collegetown (a but dense area of apartments, restaurants, and bars right next to campus)</p>
