Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

IC is a residential college and requires all first-year students to live on campus in traditional dormitories. Since the College also offers apartment-style housing on campus, upperclassmen can stay on campus while also enjoying a more independent style of housing. Apartments give students the option of living more independently because they are not required to purchase a meal plan. As far as the variety of dorms, there are several options for students. Boothroyd Hall has been renovated and definitely has the biggest dorm rooms; this dorm is part of the First-Year Residential Experience Program, so it's open exclusively to freshmen. In terms of the other residence halls, the Towers are known for being loud, but when it’s cold, it’s nice to not have to venture outside to eat. The Terraces are far from campus, so it’s a pain to walk in the bitter cold. Emerson Hall has private bathrooms and offers air conditioning.

IC offers many housing options, and most students are generally happy with where they live. The special housing dorms can be very beneficial for those who are interested. Skilled resident assistants are required to design informational programs for their residents, and the RAs are also there when their residents get locked out, become confused about how to register for classes, or just need someone to listen. The residents of some dorms form tight communities, particularly freshman housing, while others don't know their neighbors too much.

Convenience

Everything here is extremely convenient and works around the students. All dinning halls are spread out perfectly for all people to easily access, the library is right in the middle of campus and everything down to the transportation is very helpful

Housing is convenient and dorm life is awesome. Students at Ithaca like to have fun but I never had a problem with too much noise at night.

Enjoyable

The atmosphere of campus is friendly for the most part. You always have those people who don't like to say hello but that's pretty much anywhere you go. There are plenty of activities and social events to attend.

Did You Know?
