Thank you, fighter_2008! Such comments bring more details to the picture of Cornell - now I'm really waiting with impatience when the studies start. Yes, Maplewood is quite far away from CIPA...Never mind, we'll have enough time to stare at beautiful sceneries on our way to school Btw, hope they made some reconstruction works at Maplewood otherwise, taking into account its condition in 01-02 it must have tumbled down during last 7 years

Got it. Fellows, join us!

Demetrios, I tried to find your facebook group - no success. I only found "CIPA class of 2007"

hi Demetrios! Cool, so we'll be neighbors Btw, who knows, are there any dedicated forums/social network groups/chats where newcomers can get acquainted to their future fellows? I'd talk with pleasure..

Hi everybody! THIS IS WHERE I'M GOING TO ATTEND: Cornell's CIPA, MPA OTHER SCHOOLS I CONSIDERED: NYU Wagner, GWU WHY I CHOSE MY NEW SCHOOL: 1. I almost broke my brain making a choice between CIPA and Wagner. And the clicnher was my future concentration - I plan to focus on science and technology poicy, and Cornell offers plenty of related courses. 2. Campus life and community - that was very important. Cornell seems very friendly and open, with a real college spirit. Regretfully, NYU didn't show it. 3. Faculty. Cornellians are pretty sociable and ready to help. They were promt in decision-making, I received the offer in late January, and since then we've been communicating closely - all it gained my favour. 4. Many other details like atmosphere (Cornell is cut out for studies, nothing disturbs or diverts), nature, and etc. And, btw, red is my favourite color

Hi everybody! FSIA, well, it's sort of very pleasing offtopic Thanks for that d08, actually, I wanted to live in Schuyler either, but they assigned me to Maplewood. Little bit far from the central campus, but never mind. At least, Maplewood has many interesting places around. Regarding the NetID - I've contacted the helpdesk, they told almost the same - I should wait. Maybe the delay is because of the distance - I live slightly far from Ithaca. And from the US as well... d08, I plan to concentrate on Science and Technology policy in frames of my MPA program. Frankly speaking, that was the main reason I preferred Cornell over NYU. And you, d08? What are ypu planning to concentrate on? BTW, I've been reading the CIPA Foundation courses - they are fantastic! Choosing three from dozens interesting courses - that'll be a problem

Hi Cornellians! Congratulations on your admissions! I've recently joined CIPA, for the MPA (Fall 2009). Who is planning to live in Maplewood? Let's keep in touch! By the way, how long should one wait to receive the NetID? I've beeen waiting for almost one month, and still no result.
