Overall ExperienceWhat'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.

Campus Housing at Ithaca College

Convenient, and Many Choices.

There are many choices for campus housing. There are multiple dorm room buildings and apartments. Some are more centrally located than others but overall they are mostly the same on the inside. Thy are easily big enough for two people or more to share comfortably.

Confusing and Not Helpful

There were few scholarships to apply for and they are hard to locate and even harder to receive. i received no financial aid from the school.

Overall Experience at Ithaca College

A New Experience

Ithaca is a beautiful school filled with many interesting people. Studying is important to do well at this school but the teachers are very willing to help you. I was not one to study hard in high school and got by with just my natural abilities so adjusting to college was a bit of a transition. Overall, Ithaca is a wonderful school where almost anyone could find something that they are interested in.
