Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Cornell operates primarily on a self-policing basis. Many resident assistants have the attitude that they can’t write you up for what they don’t see you doing. There are rules in place for dealing with infractions when they occur, but for the most part, students are smart enough to keep out of trouble. Campus Safety is much more known for writing parking tickets than busting up parties. Underage drinking is probably the second most common rule violation on campus, behind parking tickets, but it is handled by the RAs and then the residence life staff. Drugs or physical violence are usually the only reasons local police are brought in, and those instances are few and far between.

Cornell’s alcohol policy is designed to promote personal responsibility, and it especially works for upperclassmen on substance-friendly floors where it’s legal to consume alcohol. Open containers in common areas are illegal, as is participating in drinking games. Alcohol is occasionally served on campus, but it has to be preapproved by the administration and coordinated with the dining services. Cornell’s Judicial Board hears cases as necessary regarding violations of college policy and can hand down disciplinary action from a set of established sanctions in any combination it sees fit.

Overall Fairly Lax

They don't go out of their way to punish students. The thing they are most strict on is parking. As for drinking violations, don't be obnoxious or do anything to get you noticed and you will be fine.

Campus Strictness

Drinking alcohol is limited but not punished severely. I mean Cornell College is quite lenient towards its students, but the students themselves are responsible with their life.

Punishments Are Fair

Cornell College is located in a very small town. There are not many crimes that take place and overall the place is a very safe place. Law enforcement is not really prevalent on campus and is usually the last option. I believe the campus handles their issues in a very good manner. Campus is a very safe place overall, students can leave their personal belongings out in the open and they wont have to worry about stealing. I did get my iPod stolen out of my car but the whole area was on warning of theft at the time. The campus sends out messages with alert warnings which are very helpful.

Visitation Policies

Cornell's visitation policies are pretty lax. Students can host guests of either sex in their dorm room, provided all roommates are in agreement about the visit, including length of stay and any necessary accommodations. There is technically a three-day limit for overnight guests, but there is no real enforcement of this policy, unless a roommate complains.
