<p>what makes u say single</p>
<p>what makes u say single, sexy?</p>
<p>How often do you get off campus or go home? I take it you're from NYC. Well, I'm about 2 hours from Cornell. Would I ever get to go home on a weekend or is it too busy?</p>
<p>You can really go home whenever you want. Assuming you have class on Friday (which certainly isn't always the case, esp. if you're an upperclassmen), you can go home friday afternoon and come back sunday night. Most people who live within a few hours of cornell probably do this on occasion.</p>
<p>But trust me, this is a concern to you know, but it won't be for long. You won't want to come home very often after the first few weeks, I can almost guarantee it.</p>
<p>Is it worth it to bring a car? (incurring the cost of parking + insurance on top of the 45k I'll be paying for my education)</p>
<p>cornellstudent, why is single better?</p>
<p>I have a question, cornellstudent09: I'll be a freshman this fall and I plan to ride my bicycle to class most of the time. However, it says online that my dorm does not provide indoor storage for bikes. Where can I lock up my bike when I'm not using it? I'm assuming outdoors is probably not a good idea because of bad weather, theft, etc. but I don't really want to have it taking up space in my dorm room.</p>
<p>avantgarden- you definitely have time to go home whenever you want. If you live two hours away it wouldn't be hard at all to leave on Friday and come back on Sunday if you wanted. Cornell is a very independent place, no one will stop you from going anywhere whenever you want.</p>
<p>Grant15- I didn't have a car last semester and it sucked in my opinion. I had to rely on the bus to go to the mall and stuff like that. If you can afford the $600 to park on campus then do so and then it'll be free second semester if you join a fraternity. It is definitely better to have a car then not to have one, especially if you want to go to Wegman's.</p>
<p>olam36- Riding you bike to class may seem practical now but when it's snowy and wet it won't be as easy. Most dorms and RPU and Appel have bike racks in front where you can chain up your bike. If not then you can ask your RA or RHD if there is a secure room in the dorm where you can leave your bike when you're not using it.</p>
<p>cornellstudent, why is single better?</p>
<p>Sexy...u have already been assigned housing and single v. double is personal preference. Thank you</p>
<p>o sorry figgy, i didnt know u were in charge here
or anywhere else for that matter
please accept my apology</p>
<p>single is better because you have your own space so you can come back at night without having to be quit and you can wake up without having to be quiet. You can bring ppl over without having to tell your roommate. etc.</p>
<p>is it better to get single ur first year though... to make friends... etc...
wont u be lonely and stuff in a single... i hear it makes u go crazy... etc...</p>
<p>sexy123: I've lived for the past two years alone. And that's in a building, not in a dorm. I don't see how you'd get lonely on a floor with other students in the same situation as you, apart from locking yourself inside your room :P</p>
<p>Hey cornellstudent.</p>
<p>I'm really confused about all these different schools within cornell...like somebody posted something about a school of agriculture and life sciences. Can you explain the differences between all these schools? Is it that if you go to the agriculture school you are basically saying you want to be a farmer?</p>
<p>What school should a student interested in business apply to? Are there any stores like Target in Ithaca? How much "fun" is Cornell? Within the dorms are the people usually comfortable with each other, like dorm rooms open and everyone cool with one another</p>
<p>YaoMing - please look at the Cornell website to learn more about the schools/colleges. There are 7 undergraduate schools/colleges, and they cover a large array of majors, interests, and career paths. The CALS (Ag) school certainly is not limited to those with agrarian interests, as it also includes Applied Economics and Management (AEM), Communication, Developmental Sociology, etc.</p>
<p>Eloquence - Business could be in CALS (AEM program), CAS (Econ), ILR, or Hotel. You'd have to look up more into each individual program in order to ascertain which program is best for you and your interests.
And there is a Target in the mall, about 10 min away.</p>
<p>I'll let the OP tackle the rest. :)</p>
<p>sexy...I felt the need to take that role after u posted the same question for the 20th time especially since it is ridiculous for u to post since u already applied for housing. U've been posting a ton of housing threads over and over and hijacking other people's threads and it just gets annoying. I'm obviously not the only one to feel this way since many other people have asked u to stop or at least keep it under control. I'm not trying to start anything but would just kindly like u to stop asking the same question over and over and over and over for our sanity. (sorry to anyone who had to read this)</p>
<p>AEM is the accredited business program and is the only other accredited business program in the Ivy League besides for Wharton. ILR is the business program I am in and is called Industrial Labor Relations. Hotel is for people interested in the hospitality industry or related fields. Econ is obvious. All are top ranked! (AEM is 10/11 depending on whether u look at Business Week or US News and has been climbing the rankings every single year, ILR is #1, Hotel is #1 in the world, and I'm not sure bout econ.)</p>

<p>I looked over the schools and i kind of figured out how it works... However, now i'm really confused about something else. Do you apply to these Colleges or do you apply to Cornell University? and are these colleges inside the Cornell campus or is cornell actually just like a conglomeration of many smaller campuses spread out throughout ithaca?</p>
<p>You apply to a specific college while you apply to Cornell (in filling out the CU application). You decide which school/major you are applying for, and then you write essays specific to that school. You also submit SAT IIs relevant to that school (since some require certain ones, other just require a number of SAT IIs, etc).</p>
<p>All of the schools have a quad/building on the Ithaca campus. It is one (very) big campus. If you look at a campus map, you'll see how it all fits (each school/college has a 'home base' building, if you want to think of it that way - where the admissions office is, and usually some other academic office such as the registrar for the college/school).</p>
