<p>thanks, and what bank would you recommend we use?</p>
<p>thanks for the information, do you think a fws at night like 7:20pm to 8 would be too late at night?
also, is it going to be very tiring for an engineering major to be in both the private project team and a sorority? Can you tell me some sororities that don’t have a reputation for wild partying?</p>
<p>Hey Cornellianz</p>
<p>I don’t really know much about the other banks in ithaca besides my own. I haven’t really heard bad things about any one in particular. The good news is when your first arrive on campus all the banks have places where you can set up an account. They try to make it pretty easy for you. There are also a good number of ATMs on campus so you do have a choice between banks if you like one over another. Sorry I can’t be more help.</p>
<p>Hey jennifer790724 </p>
<p>Personally, I am the type on person who does not like to take classes at night unless I don’t have any other choice. I like being able to do my work at night, have time to attend meetings, etc. If you want get get involved in certain activities night classes can get in the way.</p>
<p>As for doing a project team and a sorority…many girls have major commitments such as sports, certain clubs, project teams and they still join sororities. I don’t like to generalize about the reputations about sororities, because I know girls in all of them and tend to find they are inaccurate. For the most part, you can attend parties when you choose. Besides chapter and a few special events, the sororities will not make you go to events. You will also get to learn every that sorority will have somewhat of a mixture of girls. Some will love to go out all the time, while others don’t. If you have several commitments, you just have to be good about time management. Also, don’t be afraid to ask girls during rush how much of a time commitment you have to make. It is the perfect time to ask questions to get to know the sorority better and if it’s for you.</p>
<p>My son got a 5 in AP Calc BC and could place out of 2 levels of Calc. (Hes in CAS - undecided) He registered for Math1710 - Statistics Applications, rather than the next level of calculus. Is it a mistake not to take the calculus 1st semester?</p>
<p>hey guys,</p>
<p>how easy is it to change classes/ change time for classes during the add drop period. my prospective fws right now dont fit into my schedule!</p>
<p>Okay so this is a mundane question, but how is the tap water at Cornell? I’m not very picky about drinking tap water and usually refill my water from sinks/ water fountains etc, but I know that certain places (i.e. the place where I work) get their water from a well or some sort of place and drinking it makes me feel sick, especially a lot of it and I drink kind of a lot of water.
So, is tap water a-okay or am I likely going to have to buy bottled water when not in a dining hall? Thanks</p>
<p>Cornell has their own water filtration plant, which draws from fall creek. However, while the water it produces tastes/smells fine, after it works its way through the sometimes decades old pipes to the various faucets around campus, it can get pretty funky. I always filtered water with a brita.</p>
<p>Hey diane73</p>
<p>If he had credit for calc then he is already ahead of the game. Some students will still be taking calc I and II. Unless his advisor tells him otherwise he should be fine.</p>
<p>Hey mwhtw </p>
<p>Normally you will be able to change class times during add/drop. Sometimes you might have to wait a little until something opens up. You should also try to pick a FWS that fits into your schedule. It will be easier than trying to change everything around.</p>
<p>Hey shalala<em>lala</em>la/CUej </p>
<p>Cornell considers their water to be safe and I have never had any problems. There are many places to buy water if you really are worried. However, I refilled a water bottle from the sink many times last year. I know a lot of people who did the same.</p>
<p>Hi Ambassador12,</p>
<p>I’m wondering if many students enroll in the Sallie Mae payment plan. There’s been tons of complaints regarding shady practices and overcharging on the internet so I’m kind of scared to enroll even though it sounds like a good deal.</p>
<p>Hey Ambassador12,
I was wondering how most people get their clothes to Cornell for move in day. My parents want me to ship some and bring the rest in one carry-on suitcase. Is this smart? Or should i bring two larger suitcases and just bring them all? Also how big are the closets? And is it ok to buy most winter clothes when i get there?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Since FWS classes have time slots, and our schedule isn’t final yet, should we only put in ballots that we think will fit into our schedules?</p>
<p>Hey Silverzc413 </p>
<p>I don’t really know how many people use that plan. I tend not to talk with friends about how they pay for school and personally I am not enrolled. Sorry I can’t be more help.</p>
<p>Hey sportychicsam14 </p>
<p>It is really up to you if you want to send things before. People get things there either way. Do whatever you believe will be easier. Closet size will vary depending on which dorm you are in and the type of room you have. Rooms also have dressers that vary in size as well. You also can buy warmer clothes in ithaca, but I wouldn’t really recommend it. Itaca will have things you need, but I don’t also find it the best when it comes to shopping.</p>
<p>Hey dean5150</p>
<p>Yes, you are right. Sign up for a FWS that will fit into your free time slots. You don’t want to worry about changing things around when you already have your classes set up.</p>
<p>None of the FWS that I like fit into my schedule - so what happens if I get one that overlaps with another class? Should I not take the risk that i won’t be able to switch the other class, and so be stuck with an FWS I don’t care for?</p>
<p>I’m planning on taking the Math Placement Exam for Non-Engineers. I know that on the Cornell Math Department’s website it says that it covers essentially the same information as the AP Calc exams, but I’m curious as to its format. Is it multiple choice, free response, or a combination of the two? Also is it like the AP Calc exams with regard to the calculator policy? Or is it no calculator? Also is it comparable in difficulty to the AP Calc exams? Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>When should we buy the textbooks?
SHould we wait after the orientation week or buy them as soon as we can at the Cornell Store? And does the CornellStore sell used textbooks?</p>
