<p>Figgy, you should specify that these are INFORMAL concentrations, as in, they dont show up on your diploma. Meaning, even if i took 20 of my elective credits in economics, while all these econ classes would be seen by anyone looking at my transcript, my degree will not specify that i have a concentration in economics.</p>
<p>"I don't see why people would want to DL off the internet. With 16,00 students, there's got to be pretty much anything you want on there." </p>
<p>excuse me, but how do you think the latest content gets on there? torrents ftw? D:</p>

<p>R u sure? I was told they would when I was given the link on CC forever ago.</p>
<p>im sure. read the website.</p>
<p>Read the website carefully. </p>
<p>Formal concentrations in the ILR School do show up on one's transcript. I should know. My transcript from the ILR School lists formal concentrations in economics and inequality studies. This is all that matters, seeing as how employers always ask for transcripts and not a copy of your actual B.S.</p>
<p>What the website does say, however, is that you cannot obtain a formal concentration within an ILR department (e.g. human resources, labor economics). You can definitely obtain a formal concentration in European studies, international relations, economics, or many other fields. These essentially allow you to double major within ILR.</p>

<p>What school (besides arts and sciences) would you apply to if you are interested in pursuing english and psychology? (preferably a state-side school, if applicable)?</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>You can only do those majors in Arts and Sciences.</p>
<p>english is only available through arts and sciences...</p>
<p>your general psychology major is only avaialable through arts and sciences as well...but through state schools you can pursue more practical fields like human development (i'm not really sure but i know they are very science)...you could also do organizational behavior (which is psychology of organization) in the ILR school...</p>
<p>Should I bring a basketball/football, or are they already there somewhere?</p>
<p>you can bring one its not a big deal</p>
<p>I have 4 questions:</p>
<ol>
<li>Does Cornell have any kind of online system wherein students can review/rate their classes and professors at the end of the semester? I want to know what I'm getting into before I register for courses. </li>
<li>My parents have a real problem with paying for tuition and expenses monthly, yet this seems to be the default method for Cornell. Is there a way for us to pay in larger, lump-sum installments instead (like a single payment for each semester)?</li>
<li>How do I put money onto my Cornell Card? Can my parents directly transfer money from their checking/bank account onto my Cornell Card account?</li>
<li>I don't want to stir up controversy with this one, but if I'm a student at CAS, is there a preference between Mac and IBM computers (if it makes any difference at all)? I'm considering a Mac but I'm worried I'll have trouble with software required for my classes and compatability issues, etc.</li>
</ol>
<p>Thanks for your help!</p>
<ol>
<li>No, not technically - ratemyprofessors.com give you some insight, so do the median grade reports from cornell (search cornell.edu for those)</li>
<li>There will be a lump sump for each semester, usually in july and janurary, where the semester's tuition will be paid. The monthly bills are usually incidental expenses, such as overdue and parking ticket fees, meal plan refilling, lab fees, and cornell card fees which lead me to...</li>
<li>You don't have to load up your cornell card. Cornell card gives you (I think) up to $800 credit which you can use in a variety of places on campus, including the bookstore and hotel school restaurant (Banfi's). Your parents then pay the monthly bill. </li>
<li>Either will work fine - there's some preference towards windows computers in terms of cornell- provided software, but this shouldn't affect things at all. (Cornell has both macs and dell PC's in their labs) As long as you office or the equivalent you should be fine with a mac.</li>
</ol>
<p>With the meal plans (10,14, unlimited), are your meals all you can eat?</p>
<p>dining halls offer an all you care to eat selection...just think of it as a cafeteria buffet style...</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
<p>I did a search and hopefully these questions hasn't come up.</p>
<p>As I prepare for summer, are there any supplies I should buy beforehand, or do most students buy notebooks/binders/paper the 1st/2nd day of class?</p>
<p>As for textbooks, I know we don't officially know our classes until orientation so to save money, is buying online an option or is there a way to buy books cheaper in Ithaca? What do most students do?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>Mikeyc765 - I've bumped up a thread on books for you</p>
<p>You can buy all of your notebooks and pens and stuff at Target in Ithaca or at the Cornell Bookstore. You'll be up in Ithaca for about 4 days before classes start so that is plenty of time.</p>
<p>I woud recommend buying online after going to you first day or two of classes. Also you can check Kraftees which is a bookstore in Collegetown that usually sells about $10 cheaper than the Cornell Store.</p>
<p>about cal i and II, (ab bc i assume) does everyone take it together? cause on the median grade thing i only see I and II sintead of like for engineers or something. so lets say you wanna major in Bio and decided to take math I II during fresh year would you take it with majors and engins, also if you dont take it with majors that means the grading and curve is completely different right</p>
