Are you already familiar with Ithaca?

[ProudToBeLiberal]

26. Now that's a coincidence for you - when I was at UW,

I took a job as a lowly faculty member at Cornell, midway through my PhD - it didn't work out, but we really liked Ithaca. When the summer gets hot, the place to go swimming to cool off is Flat Rock. It's great - natural setting, babbling water, lots of space, rocks (flat) to flop on for the day. And there's the Cornell dairy store - ice cream to die for! And the apple orchard! We had a friend who was a Professor of Pomology! You can go into the apple barn, inhale the fragrance, check out the sample ("this is our new variety, #294568 - tell us what you think of it") and get excellent cider every month except August. There's a lot to like about Ithaca. And I haven't even touched on downtown Ithaca, or the lake. Congratulations, though - fine school.

2. I Don't Think I Have To

That is an accomplishment on it's own and I'm surprised you "have" to announce the fact in a hotbed of Liberals!

IfI were only forty years younger....

[LawSchoolLiberal]

18. Good call!

If you decide to stay in NY when you do, I suggest University at Buffalo! (I'm a pitch man, woo!) Seriously, this is a really good school; be sure an post three years from now when you're looking! And congrats!

5. Congrats

[Lisa0825]

7. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!

That is FANTASTIC! It's a terrific school! It was on my wish list, way back when, but I chickened out, having never been far from home before, and not being assured I'd ever have money to visit on breaks. So, I stayed in Texas. But I did research Cornell back then, and it is a wonderful school. A sincere "way to go!" and best wishes to you on your new venture! :yourock:

[ProudToBeLiberal]

8. thanks :)

28. what does "wut wut" mean?

Where I'm from, we say "Wafuckinhoo".

Congrats! My husband, TXLib, graduated from there in '92. I'm sure he'd be happy to tell you all about his experiences.

[midnight armadillo]

29. Are you gonna JUMP!?!?

Watch out for that footbridge over the gorge ;-)

Just kidding, congratulations! Ithaca is a great college town!

[TXlib]

30. Class of 1992, here

Congrats!

I expect it's very different from when i was there.

If you speak foreign languages (french, german, chinese, russian, italian, and maybe a few others by now), I'd highly recommend looking into The Language House as an alternative dormatory.

Risley Hall, OTOH, on North Campus (I think that's the name - it's the one that looks like a gothic castle, where the SCA does battle on Sundays) is where the artsie/goth types hang out. Live there if you want to have lots of indiscriminate freaky sex.

What will you be studying? I got my BA in physics.

[TXlib]

31. BTW, thats "w00t w00t!"

If you're gonna use leetspeak, get it right! :-)

[nothingshocksmeanymore]
