<p>About how many students stay around for Fall Break? Is much open/ is there stuff to do?</p>
<p>I would like to know soon. I might go home since I live nearby, but I don’t know other people that are…</p>
<p>I personally don’t know any who stay unless its for sports. People I know that live far away (like CA) took the weekend to go to NYC with friends. I do know that libraries are open but have reduced hours…</p>
<p>AFAIK, most people leave if they can, or go somewhere. I’m trying to find a way to get to Montreal, but that doesn’t look very promising over that weekend, so I may go to NYC and meet up with some of my friends from West Point and NYU. </p>
<p>But who knows, I’m afraid of looking at hotel prices in NYC. Very afraid.</p>
<p>I stayed last year, it was fun. (I’m from FL so it’s a pain to buy tickets for a few days)</p>
<p>The food places aren’t open so we went to Target and bought groceries and made food.</p>
<p>This year I plan on going to Jersey or NYC with friends.</p>
<p>If you want to go to NYC, try finding friends at Columbia, NYU, Cooper Union, Fordham, etc. and ask if you can stay with them.</p>
<p>NYC is a good spot to be</p>
<p>I’m either staying, going to NYC, going to Montreal, or going somewhere else, depends what opportunities come up later.</p>
<p>I stayed on campus last year, and it was pretty boring. Maybe because I studied the whole time. 
lol.</p>
<p>Hopefully…this year, I’ll be in California.<3 It’ll be a short trip with all the traveling, but it’ll be worth it. :)</p>
<p>I’m going home to NYC! My friend at Haverford has the same break, so we’ll be able to meet up 
I heard that there’s really nothing much to do on campus on Fall Break, so I figured it would be a good time to see family/friends and exchange my summer clothes for warmer ones.</p>
<p>Anyone who is interested in coming to NYC to visit should consider staying at Jersey City. It is only a Path ride away, very cheap/easy to get in and out of NYC. There are nice hotels (Westin) for around $200 for a room with 2 queen size beds. You could have 4 people stay in a room if you are tight on budget. Eating out in NYC is not any more expensive than Ithaca. October in NYC is beautiful. There is Central Park, museums, SoHo, Village…</p>
<p>Are all the dining halls really closed?</p>
<p>When do kids generally leave? Does everyone have class on Friday?</p>
<p>I’m planning to leave on Friday after my last class (which ends at 2:15). If you don’t have classes on Friday or Saturday, you could probably leave Thursday night if you want to. It sucks if you have lab on Saturday or something, though.</p>
<p>there are always people that stay- obviously many international students (some of them also just kick it in NYC or somewhere else for a few days), but you will see a huuuge reduction in the ithaca population during that time. tons of kids live in NY so they are a short drive away. i had to stay to do labwork sophomore year, and it was quite a borefest. no parties and overall desolation. </p>
<p>people have class on friday- a lot of people skip them to get a jump on break. as per countryangel’s comment- i’m pretty sure any class on saturday (never heard of a saturday lab… but i could be wrong) will not take place.</p>
<p>I thought that break officially begins at 1:10 on Saturday, so I assumed that Saturday morning classes are still on…but I could be wrong.</p>
<p>thats probably because of the cornell v harvard football game :D</p>
<p>I think it’s really lame that they schedule a home game against Harvard over a weekend when a lot of students are going home…I guess they couldn’t help it, but still.</p>
<p>I’m going to NYC and staying with friends at Parsons, NYU, Columbia, and Fordham (I think one/night) so I’m excited :D</p>
<p>Yeah it’s ridiculous that the game is during fall break. No one will be there lol.</p>
