Human Development
I am a student in college of Human Ecology, and my educational needs have surpassed. I am majoring in Human Development and much of my course work have been assigned by professor whom are accomplished in their field of study. Yet, what is more important is these professors take the time off their day to have office hours in which you can both get to know them in a personally as well as get the help you need.

Nightlife
Nightlife for Cornell student depends on the individual. The best party scenes are in House parties and College Town in which its the typical bar/club scene. There is always Bus transportation that run late at night as well as taxi services. However, due to Ithaca seclusion, your options are limited to what is mainly around Ithaca, the closest thing to a city is Syracuse which is approximately an hour away.

Scholarships
Your financial aid is mainly dependent on how much your parents make. If your parents exceed the tuition costs, then scholarships will be limited and most of bill will be on you. If your parents don't exceed tuition costs, then your financial aid will be well off. Yet, this may be only for the first year. Your financial aid decreases each year and you have to have a summer savings of 3,000. Your scholarships mainly come from outside sources.

Off-Campus
Typically off-campus housing is more for grad students. Yet, housing prices are relatively the same for off-campus as on campus, except a bit more expensive. Nevertheless, the rooms for off campus are huge, they are more like apartment complexes. There are also houses, which are reserved for five people, which are designed liked houses.

Safety and Security
Campus safety and security is extremely well. There is always police and safety services for those late nights. The only safety measure one should be aware of is running late at night. Most people run off campus, and there are hardly any services to protect them.

Greek Life
Greek Life is for the parties and other social events, but it does not dominate Cornell. The only big deal Greek Life play is on Friday and Saturday nights.

Cornell is well-known for its cloudy weather, especially for its rainy showers, but you are always rewarded. This photo was taken in front of Cornell's many dining houses.
