<p>anyone planning on doing this?</p>

2

<p>yep, I am! I'm excited about it because I'm in Cornell Tradition too.</p>

3

<p>great! what undergrad college are you in?</p>

4

<p>How do you find out about these trips? I don't remember getting any information on it.</p>

5

<p>in the Cornell Bound packet</p>

6

<p>did you receive the packet after you submitted your commitment card? i'm a tradition fellow, too (if i commit to cornell)</p>

7

<p>yeah, it came about a week or two later</p>

8

<p>I'm in ILR. I haven't received the Cornell Bound packet yet because I just mailed the deposit about a week ago, and I live pretty far away. POST seems like a really great chance to meet people before orientation starts. Plus, if you're a Cornell Tradition Fellow, POST counts for about 25 hours of your required 75 hours of community service.</p>

<p>POSTers!!!!!!! I HEART YOU SO MUCH! As a POSTer, and a POST leader last year (I'd do it again this year, but unfortunately I'm interning off campus!), POST is the most amazing thing in the entire world. I cannot tell you, I could go on about it for about four days straight. If you do POST, you will have one of the most amazing experiences in your 4 years at Cornell.
PLEASE post any questions you may have - I'm SO EXCITED that there's a forum for this, and I'd love to answer any/all of your questions! I can tell you about activities, the leaders (great people!!), expectations, living conditions.... anything, since I experienced it twice. You can also private message me, or I can send you my email for specific questions.
As you'll find out if you do POST.... you get really excited whenever you hear about it!!! :)
-- PS. I'm not insane. POST really is the best thing in the entire world.</p>
