<p>I know there has been a post like this already but I figured I'd start a new one to get all the incoming freshman excited about Cornell. It would be great if any current students could add some things to this list:</p>
<ul>
<li>brunch at RPU (robert purcell)</li>
<li>fried food at Bear Nasties at 2AM</li>
<li>the beautiful waterfall underneath the footbridge</li>

<li>a cappella groups singing in the arches around campus</li>
<li>frat parties during the fall semester (at least 3 or 4 per night thurs, fri, sat)</li>

<li>southwest chicken sandwiches from the Ivy Room</li>

<li>HUGE BREADTH OF CLASSES (I can take can a hotel class about wines in the Hotel school and take a class about mechanical engineering in the engineering school)</li>

<p>I can't wait to sake bomb! It's when u drop sake into a drink n chug, woooo. Unfortunately that's something u pretty much need to be 21 for since ppl really only do it in restaurants lol.</p>
<p>I can tell you some even though I'm not there yet lol</p>
<p>-The Gorges
-Ithaca the college town
-Ithaca College girls coming up to Cornell to party
-Cross Country Week (I think that's wat its called...where a gourmet chef from somewhere in the country comes and cooks for us for a week!).
-Slope Day
-The Dalai Llama is coming!
-Getting a "wow!" everytime you tell someone you are going to Cornell
-Hockey and Lacrosse</p>
<p>k I'm done for now cuz I don't feel like thinking about more lol</p>
<p>ammarsfound, if everyone jumped into a gorge if they got a b, there wouldn't be a lot of students left. most of the intro classes have b to c+ averages.</p>
<p>personally i like savion "da black kidd" agard and also how cornell puts sunny pictures in their advertising posters, documents etc, when it is sunny at cornell only when the students are NOT there</p>
<p>i saw a picture of cornell's campus on April 16th, and it was snowing HARD with probaly around 6" on the ground already. i mean, im fine with snow and all but in freakin middle of april?? snow is supposed to stop in march :(</p>
<p>about that ^^^ the speech is on the last day of our fall recess (Oct.6-9), such great timing lol and ya they'll have tix on Aug. 15th for new students!</p>
