<p>I was wondering, is the ILR school separate from the arts and science school at Cornell? (If you could give me information about the classes and housing that would be great.)</p>
<p>Any other information you have about Cornell ILR would be greatly appreciated, too!!</p>
<p>Thanks,
Maria</p>
<p>Hi Maria,</p>
<p>The ILR School is one of Cornell’s more unique programs. It’s Cornell’s third smallest school with a total enrollment of only 911 students. The ILR School is one of Cornell’s three statutory colleges – that means that the college receives part of its funding from the State University of New York. If you are a resident of NYS, this will mean you will pay less in tuition. </p>
<p>In terms of physical location of the ILR building, it’s right on central campus. ILR has its own library, classrooms, faculty offices and student lounges in one place. Of course, not all of your classes will be in the ILR building – many of the classes you choose to take during your time at Cornell will be in other buildings on campus. </p>
<p>In terms of housing all Freshman at Cornell live on North Campus – a conglomeration of dorms, townhouses and dining halls on the north part of campus. Residence halls are not separated by a student’s college, and roommates often come from different majors and colleges within Cornell. </p>
<p>The degree you’ll earn from ILR will be a BS in Industrial and Labor Relations. Kids go to ILR for a ton of different academic interests. I am personally interested in politics but I have friends who are using ILR to pursue law, finance and human resources, just to name a few. </p>
<p>ILR does mandate you take particular courses. Here’s a list of what courses you’d be expected to take: [Cornell</a> University - ILR School: Office of Student Services - Summary of Curriculum Requirements](<a href=“http://www.ilr.cornell.edu/studentservices/curriculum/requirements/summary.html]Cornell”>http://www.ilr.cornell.edu/studentservices/curriculum/requirements/summary.html). I suggest you look at the required courses and see if they cover topics which are of interest to you. Also keep in mind you have the ability to take courses outside ILR. As a student at Cornell, you can take any of the 4,000 classes the university offers. </p>
<p>Let me know if you have any other questions!</p>
