<p>My D liked living in the townhouses. There was a lot of room, a bathroom shared by only a few and cleaned every week. She easily got to central by bus. She became very good friends with other townhouse residents. Actually, she never said anything bad about the experience. I, as a mom, thought it was much better than a small dorm room. It was much more comfortable.</p>
<p>Do not worry, you will meet people. You will not be isolated.</p>
<p>Are there study lounges? Also are the houses two floors or it varies? For those that are 2 floors, is the setup the same on both floors; kitchen, living room, bathroom, and bedroom all on each floor?</p>
<p>Also how many bathrooms are there? And does the bathroom only have 1 sink and 1 shower?</p>
<p>each t-house has a downstairs w/ kitchen and living room and upstairs w/ 2 doubles, a room w/sink and shower and a separate toilet room.</p>
<p>^^only some of them are 2 levels. most are one</p>
<p>How do the two levels and 1 levels compare? Is the dorm smaller? Are the rooms smaller?</p>
<p>seriously? my freshman year (2005-2006) all were 2 levels.</p>
<p>I just saw the townhouses. Hideous. And they're brown too. </p>
<p>And it's a 90 minute walk to campus without snow or traffic or anything. No lie.</p>

<p>ummmmmm.......no</p>
<p>wow. im in a townhouse for this year and you guys are ridiculous. maybe it is a 90 minute walk if you are a one-legged turtle, but for normal people it is an enjoyable walk. plus it is mostly downhill to central campus, so seriously people, suck it up. </p>
<p>there are far worse things in this life that actually merit complaint.</p>
<p>You're kidding... right? The townhouses are brown?? If you are worried about a walk, as I said before, there are buses that run regularly. Are you afraid of public transit? If you are not used to it, then I would think walking would not be a problem. Also, there are taxis. I understand students use them all of the time, especially at night coming back from a party.</p>
<p>I agree w/ dande... "there are far worse things..."</p>
<p>Can I bring my horse?</p>
<p>"Can I bring my horse?"</p>
<p>Depends, have you already prearranged for your horse to be your roommate on your housing application?</p>

<p>If you can feed him and house him, then maybe they'll cut you some slack...</p>
<p>I do think that would be interesting. I mean i doubt that too many ppl ride their horses to class. Would be a very cool sight.</p>
<p>Dude in 90 min you could walk to Wegman's and back</p>
<p>Seems people have missed the blatant sarcasm in agbm's post.</p>

<p>Maybe the wealthier students do. But seriously. Nothing at Cornell is more than a twenty minute walk from anything else. Even the Commons from North Campus is <em>maybe</em> a 35 minute walk.</p>
<p>long walks in the ice/cold are all about what kind of shoes you have...</p>
<p>it was once really bad that i fell on my ass like 6x (no i had not pregamed) b/c of the terrible ice...i did wear some weird shoes though</p>
<p>I've heard a story of a man who decided to ride his horse instead of drive a car...</p>
<p>Walking in the ice/snow is completely terrible too...especially if you're not equipped.</p>
