<p>isn't cornell kind of rural? what the heck would u do on weekends?</p>
<p>well... cornell's gotta pretty good campus with lot of fun things to do... there r a few cool malls nearby too...</p>
<p>i have never been bored on campus. Ithaca has some spectacular restaurants. there's a mall. movie theaters both on and off campus. bowling alley on campus. athletic games all weekend long. join a club. go for a long bike ride. go to the farmer's market. visit the park. visit the lake. go sailing. go swim in the gorge. go snowboarding or ski. if you're really bored on campus, you're a boring person in general.</p>
<p>I get obliterated...but I do that when I'm not at Cornell, too.</p>
<p>does one have to pay extra to use facilities like bowling alley?</p>
<p>A couple dollars. Prices are cheaper than in the "real world." The skating rink, bowling alley, movie theater (a real theater), billiards room, and everything else, are about half price compared to the real world. Even season passes to the local ski mountain are half price.</p>
<p>To the OP: what do you do on weekends, or anticipate doing on weekends in college...we probably have it at cornell, and quite possibly more accessible than it is to you now or will be in college.</p>
