<li><p>Yes, move-in day is chaotic. Last year at least, ppl had to wait in a long line before being directed to the dorms. But there should be enough parking.</p></li>
<li><p>There is only ONE elevator. The move-in crew will most likely carry the fridge up the stairs though.</p></li>

<p>Im going on a pre-orientation trip and am from buffalo. Would it be a good call to bring like like beddings and stuff to put in on the 21st, and fully move in on the 22nd so that my parents could get a chance to see the orientation weekend stuff, and to avoid the rush?</p>
<p>Hey CU,
Could you tell me a little about intramural sports? I posted something before, but haven’t gotten an in-depth response. Were you on any teams?</p>
<p>do you have any information on the Span 2000 class? anything you might know is appreciated.</p>
<ol>
<li><p>How competitive are the club athletic teams, in retrospect to a decent hs varsity program?
I played 3 years of varsity bball for a team that ranked 2nd in the conference, but I have heard that bball @ Cornell is pretty high calibre. </p></li>
<li><p>Are there club basketball teams within Cornell that compete amongst each other?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>I’m trying to transfer for the spring semester. I live in Southern California, and have really never been in a decent snowfall. Truthfully, how bloody cold is it during the winter?</p>
<p>@RileyJohn - its cold … some winter nites can reach 0 F with some daytime highs at 10 F. But those were temps for this past semester and honestly, some winters can actually be mild (my soph year, some temps were in the 60s in Dec). The cold will be bearable with a good jacket.</p>
<p>So walking to class in 10 degree weather isn’t really a problem? I can’t honestly say I know what 10 degrees feels like.</p>
<p>RileyJohn, I am from California too. There’s a little time before it gets really cold but you want to make sure to buy a good down parka, some good gloves, scarf, snow boots (I used a pair of running shoes for most of the last winter and it worked out).</p>
<p>I bought an eddie bauer down parka that keeps me extremely comfortable when it’s cold out.</p>
<p>Another thing I want to point out is that 15-20 degrees isn’t going to feel as bad as you expect because it is so dry outside. Your skin is going to be destroyed but you aren’t going to feel like you expect to. Also, by the end of the winter 50 degrees was T-shirt weather for me as well as most of the people I knew.</p>
<p>RileyJohn: You adjust to it very quickly. Once the numbness sets in, you don’t notice the varying degrees of cold as much. However, while you can adjust to the cold, the wind chill from the gusts on the slope will have you cursing the ground you walk on.</p>
<p>As long as you bundle up, you’ll be fine.</p>
<p>ricey: intramurals at Cornell run for the whole year. As long as you can either find a team or make one yourself, you’ll be able to play. Most require a small entrance fee of a couple of dollars. This should give a list of all the sports.</p>

<p>L.Draco:
<ol>
<li>The Club team competes mostly with other club teams around the country and goes to a few tournaments every year. There are quite a few practices every week during the season but if you have legitimate excuses (like tests) then you can miss some. It’s much more informal than varsity.</li>
</ol>
<p>Could the same be said for Club Soccer as far as the competitiveness and skill level, how hard is it to make that team? And also, are there multiple club teams for each sport or only one for each?</p>
<p>how do the dance partner sign in work for PE dance classes? any experience with either the beginning swing or salsa classes? im trying to decide between one of them.</p>
<p>Reddagger: I couldn’t say much about club soccer since I don’t play very much soccer and I couldn’t judge the level of players. However, I’m pretty sure it would still be DIII level at the highest with maybe a couple of varsity drop-outs. You could always e-mail the coach and ask, or just go to the tryouts. There’s generally only one club team for each sport…I know ultimate frisbee has different teams, but that’s the only one I’m sure of.</p>
<p>1) is there any way to get around the 10 gig a month limit? i watch a lot of shows so i need to download/hulu them
2) what big fast food chains are located in collegetown/ other parts of ithaca?</p>
<p>popular shows will hopefully be available on the campus filesharing network…</p>
<p>lol @ #2</p>
<p>soon you will learn that the liberal loons hate fast foods…the only fast food chain in collegetown is subway…i would love to see a mcdonalds go up in collegetown (srs)</p>
<p>for anything else you will have to drive…just google it (srs)</p>
<p>How does the campus file sharing network function, will we learn about it when we get there, and is it school sponsored or unofficial?</p>
<p>Obviously unofficial… sharing is always unsupported.</p>
<p>most of your questions could be answered by google (srs)</p>
