You’re right. I am the OP and I forgot lol. But yeah it does seem like an easy choice… But I heard the weather makes people depressed lol
It’s cold. But the cold weather is a common misery that unites the students in a funny sort of way. If you are in AEM, your freshman dorm will be relatively close to your classes (I am assuming that the AEM classes are on the Ag Quad. There wasn’t an AEM program when I was there, but there was Agricultural Economics, which is the program that AEM evolved from.)
The weather in Ithaca isn’t that much different than NYC, at least not enough to make a big difference. Both have cold, gray winters. Ithaca usually gets more snow, but that also helps to make the campus even prettier than it already is.
