<p>If so, I have a few questions if you wouldn't mind!</p>
<p>What is living in Ithaca like? What is there to do there? What's a comparable city/town in terms of activity, urbanization, population, and proximity to relevant things?</p>
<p>How important are courses like pharmacology, immunology, bacteriology, physiology and genetics to vet schools? Would taking those courses look any better or worse than taking courses in general animal science studies, like domestic animal studies? Or is the difference negligible? Do they prefer well-rounded students who take courses outside their field of study, or do they prefer that the student concentrates on courses dealing with animal or medicinal study? I'm very familiar with the prerequisites for most veterinary schools, I'm specifically interested in the aforementioned courses.</p>
<p>For anyone going to Cornell: I'd love to hear everything about your experience there!</p>
<p>I’ve lived in Ithaca my entire life and I’m going to Cornell now! While I can’t speak really about vet school at all, I can definitely tell you about Ithaca life and Cornell. </p>
<p>Ithaca is my favorite place in the world. There really is nowhere like it. A lot of people who come to Cornell from large cities think that Ithaca is really boring, which is so strange to me, because growing up, Ithaca was where we went to do things. It was where all the activity was. But I can definitely understand how it’s different from NYC and may seem empty comparatively. But there are tons of concerts and festivals and nature trails and amazing restaurants. It is definitely the most beautiful place in the world, although I may be biased. But I loved it so much that I opted to stay here at least another four years for college.</p>
<p>Let me know if there are any specific questions you want answered; I would love to answer them!</p>
<p>Ranza123, a good number of those people who come presupposing it is boring there eventually change their minds.
Ithaca residents include an overabundance of former students who decided to stay on.
There is a “chill” atmosphere there that, while different than NYC, is wonderful in its own right. Especially for the 18-28 age group that is so overrpresented; they essentially have a whole city for themselves.</p>
<p>Of course these formal events do not reflect the myriad student house parties and self-initiated activities that are happening there all the time.</p>
