<p>First of all, how long does cornell days last? Do you have to stay for the entire time frame? Is it mandatory?</p>
<p>Second. Is it true that Cornell gives students from warm climates a grant to buy winter clothes. I'm from Los Angeles so the warmest thing I own is a zip up hoodie</p>
<p>Hey congrats on your acceptance!! Cornell Days is from April 11-23. You usually come for around two days. I would recommend getting hosted with a student during your stay from the Red Carpet Society. And no, Cornell Days are not required; they are just a great opportunity for accepted students to get to know Cornell and their future classmates. Good luck!</p>
<p>Also, I have no idea about the second part of question. I’m from Upstate New York. But, it has actually been pretty warm this year. I think today is supposed to 60 and sunny.</p>
<p>I’m just guessing, but I would suppose that the grant to buy winter clothing might be for students who are getting a large amount of financial aid (in other words, the lack of available money to buy a coat and boots might actually keep them from being able to go to Cornell.)</p>
<p>There is no such grant. That was an old Harvard grant.</p>
<p>The one-time coat allowance is still allowed for FA students that put in a request for it. The weather this year has been unusually mild. It can and usually does, in fact, get very cold and snowy here.</p>
