Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

When students are asked to evaluate their overall experience at IC, they often look at the lessons they learned both inside and outside of the classroom. Students who go beyond the social aspect of college and get involved end up both gaining the most experience and having the most fun. Many students love IC because of its size. Sometimes, it’s hard to walk anywhere on campus without bumping into someone you know. With such dreadfully cold winters, the academic programs and well-organized student groups are the main reasons students come back every year. Also, the great size allows students to connect with other students in their majors and their professors/advisers, as well. 

Like many things in life, students’ experiences with IC are simply what they make of them. If you sit in your dorm room for four years, you will be miserable. If you experience the life Ithaca has to offer and go outside of your comfort zone, you most likely won’t regret your decision to attend IC. The school’s high retention rate proves this. IC offers a great mix of academics and everything else college life should offer—friends, fun, professional opportunities, active campus life, and a time to learn and grow.

It's All About Timing...

There are plenty of spots on campus, but if you want one close to your classes, dorm, etc. it's all about timing. Parking can be rough during those peak class hours, especially when the best spots are obviously given to the faculty during the day. Overall not bad though. However, I will note that freshman get the shaft in terms of parking. Their lots of are far out of the way and much more expensive than upperclassmen. I think freshmen pay about $500 for a spot for the SEMESTER! while all other students pay about $200 for the year.

Stupidity

Walking around campus is generally safe no matter what time of day and blue lights are readily accessible. The major problem with safety and security at IC is the stupid behavior of the students. People steal food from communal fridges, laptops in lounges, and even once there was a car stolen off campus (it was later recovered, but still). On a regular basis there are dumpster fires and various kinds of vandalism all around campus. It's ridiculous. So while personal safety is strong, the stupidity is high.
