rising_star Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 I think there may be over in the Ithaca topic of the City Guide. There's a user named "Cornell07" you may want to contact... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coffeepot Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 hi littlejay! i'm a prospective cornellian-- german studies. have you accepted cornell's offer of admission already? cornell was my first choice school so i'm tempted to just accept the offer, but i guess i'll wait and see what other schools offer in terms of grant money. columbia said yes, as well. hmmm...

britishstudent Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 I'm also into Cornell and hoping to visit sometime in March and April. Has anyone else submitted accomodation information? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleJay Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 Hi britishstudent and cofeepot, I have not accepted the offer - I am visiting this weekend and I think I will accept right after coming back (I have turned down Columbia's offer, because I don't think I would fit as well as I would at Cornell...). Besides Berkeley - where I got rejected - I don't think there is a better school to do "theory." The only thing that scares me about Cornell is Ithaca...

Phedre Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Cornell was always my first choice, tied with Berkeley. I didn't get into Berkeley either (stupid Rhetoric people!) but I'm psyched about cornell and the more I head about the city, the cooler it seems. I'm just worried about 1) if I need a car or not 2) how to deal witht he cold and 3) if I should live by myself in a studio or find friends to room with. I'm visiting next week (5-7 march) and I'm super excited about the people. And, curiously enough, Columbia is my only other top contender (Duke may also vie for a spot)... tough decisions. Post here after everyone visits-- i'm curious to hear peoples reactions! All the best, Jennie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimoneSimon Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Hi! I posted this in the 'Ithaca' thread, as well, and the moderators might get upset about the doubling, but... I'm off visiting Cornell's Romance Studies dept. this weekend, and I'm seriously considering going there. I had a great experience living off-campus (but within walking distance) during my M.A. at Dartmouth, living in a largish apartment with 2 other grad students, and always heard that grad housing was depressing and isolating, especially if you're surrounded by people not even remotely in your field. I'd love to repeat the experience - just sending out feelers at this point, but does anyone else think they might like the idea? PS: I'm also engaged in "theory" and philosophy, and thus am really excited about Cornell! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
