College Prowler Take
In evaluating their overall experience at IC, students often look to what has happened beyond the classrooms. IC offers countless opportunities to learn outside of class, and the students who take advantage of those offers are generally more pleased with their education. Many students love IC because of its size. It’s hard to walk anywhere on campus without bumping into someone you know. With its great location, IC offers much off campus as well. The most common complaints are how much it costs to attend IC and the bitterly cold winter months that students have to endure. With 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 outside of the four walls of your room, 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 the college life should offer—friends, fun, and a time to learn and grow.

I’m overall very ambivalent about this school. There are definitely days where I wish I would’ve attended a school closer to home, but then there are days where I’m glad that I’m here. The main factor that’s keeping me here is the Park School program. It’s very unique and stimulates a real-life environment. If I could find a program like this in California (that’s not theory-based and then hands on), I would definitely transfer. However, I think that being so far from home has its benefits, too. |

I have had good and bad experiences at Ithaca. The weather is depressing, and the political climate is not friendly to conservatives, so there have definitely been times when I missed my home. I think I’ve learned a lot in my three years here, however, and I will take with me knowledge and friends that will last for the rest of my life. |

I absolutely love Ithaca. It’s a great experience, and the people are wonderful. Advice: get involved immediately in volunteer services and in activities in your major. Get connected on campus right away, and delve into the college experience as soon as you can. |

I admit the school can get boring at times because there’s not a whole lot to do, especially if you don’t have a car, but the school does make an effort to provide things to do on the weekends. A lot of times with schools, people may be unhappy, but they don’t feel that they’d necessarily be happier elsewhere. You could do a lot worse than Ithaca. |

For the most part, I like it here. The people can be really friendly, and the classes are usually nice and small and not too tough. The weather tends to get people down, but I find that’s true of a lot of schools. I like the small, compact campus. The population is the right size: small enough to say hi to plenty of friends on the way to classes and big enough that you don’t know everyone. Although transfers are somewhat common, it seems that way everywhere. |
