I Love the Small Multi-Sports Center and Cole Library!!!
The Small Multi-Sports center provide us, non-athlete students, with all sports equipment we need. We can play basketball, badminton, soccer whenever we want since the opening hours are quite flexible. This obviously helps us enhance our health well.
The computer lab in Law Hall opens 24/24 with very well-equipped computers, helping us concentrate on our paper or homework. Other than that, Cole library is awesome with great view. There are some group study rooms and quiet study area, which are necessary for exam-days.
There are also so many things going on in Cornell College during the week. It seems like there's always something to do at Cornell. Volunteer activities, music events, dance parties, comedian shows etc. all show how well Cornell cares about its students. I just love it.

Nightlife Is Quiet and Peaceful
People might go to lots of parties and clubs, but that makes college at night quiet. During weekends, most people just go out of town and have fun. Other people hang out and watch movies or play cards. During the week, with a quite intense load of homework, it's not quite reasonable to have parties going on at night.

You Have to Tell the Truth When Telling Your Financial Circumstance
I didn't have a lot of troubles in financial aid process. I just told the truth how much money my family could contribute to the school, and Cornell based on that to give me financial aid. I'll just say that you have to tell the exact truth how much money you can give to school, don't make it too little because then the school might not find it possible to allow you at school. Don't exaggerate it neither because your family might get into trouble for not being able to afford it.

It's Great to Live on Campus
I love living on campus. I'm a freshman and so I live at Dows Hall, where all the girls freshmen live. There's an RA on each floor, who is so out-going and responsible. Floor activities are a lot of fun too. My dorm is very close to the Commons or Library or other buildings, so I don't have to walk very far to reach the places I want to go to. The only thing I don't like about it is the kitchen. It's pretty much always messy and the equipments are quite old. Anyway,I think the best dorm is probably Clock Tower, other than that, Bowman and Pfeiffer are really cool too.

Cornell Has a Great Diversity With Students from Different Countries
As an international student, I'm so grateful to be in Cornell. Eyes of the World is the biggest organization including lots of international students and even American students. We have lots of fun doing so many activities together. Culture show, International Dinner, Cook out etc. Through all these, we exchange and learn from each others' culture.

Parking Is Fine
The parking lot is not too far from school. It's very flexible and always guarantees that students have enough parking spaces.

Local Atmosphere Is Warm and Friendly.
Downtown is so close to Cornell. It's a very small town with Coffee shop, grocery stores, jewelery store with so many interesting stuff. The movie theater nearby is very cheap, and the theater owner is hilarious. Overall, the residents around are very friendly and helpful.

Great Academics at Cornell College
One course at a time is a great opportunity for students to discover and try new things at different period of time. I love Cornell for the professors too. They are so very nice and helpful, willing to help you with whatever you need. The workload is quite intense, we have mid-term and final all year round which is kinda funny to think about. Most popular majors are Psychology, Economics and Biology.

Lincoln Cafe Is the Best!!
Mostly the prices in every restaurant around campus are reasonable and suitable for students. The atmosphere is very open and outgoing. You can meet lots of people in those places, they are like social gatherings somehow too.

Campus Strictness
Drinking alcohol is limited but not punished severely. I mean Cornell College is quite lenient towards its students, but the students themselves are responsible with their life.

Off-Campus Housing Is Available With Reasonable Cost
You can rent an apartment off campus for a reasonable cost, around $300/month if you share with other people. They are very close to the school, which is in walking distance.

Transportation Is Limitted
Transportation is limited, there's no bus or shuttle in the area. However, during each block break, there's always free shuttle taking students to mall or recreation places (skiing, bowling etc.)so that's good. I mean people can always find a ride if necessary.

You Have Lots of Opportunities With Every Major You Are at
My major is Economics. There is Berry Center which helps Econ students a lot with everything: internships, reading groups, independent study etc. All the professors are very nice and helpful in finding resources for students in their majors. Other majors like Biology, you can do research with your professor throughout the summer. Or Anthropology major, you have chances to travel to study about cultures in different regions or countries

Food Is Not Too Bad
Our school receives dining service from Sodexo. The food is not too bad, even though there is not large variety of food everyday.

I Like the Weather Here
Winter, summer, spring, fall are all so different. They are 4 distinctive seasons here in Cornell. I love it. Even though it changes a lot and quite sudden, but that's the way weather works!! You always experience something new with the change of weather, whether you hate it or not.
