<p>I agree 100% with Blastoise. I cannot express how much time management and office hours are essential to success at Cornell. I would advise that you explore the city of Ithaca and the surrounding areas. A lot of freshman are glued to North and Central Campus and usually don’t take the time to see what Ithaca has to offer. A car would make this a lot easier. Freshman are allowed to have cars so I’m sure you will have friends with cars.</p>
