The image the school puts out there (whether via tours or the college website) is far from the reality of Elmira College. For example, the website lists classes such as "Homeric Poems" and "The Sacred Art of India" as being part of the Classics program - but such courses haven't been offered here for years. Of course, no one will tell you this before you decide to attend.

While I am very glad to have met some of the professors here and have enjoyed some of their classes, in general even the "tough" professors coddle their students far too much. The school feels more like summer camp than college.

I can say that the school has a lot of spirit and cares a great deal about tradition. I have had some great times here. And the scholarships are great. Still, as an academic institution, I found it sorely lacking.

Please look into all of your options and don't decide on a school based on the crap the Admissions office feeds you. You might just end up bitter and cynical like most of my friends, wishing you'd gone to some other college.

The only thing that has not been colored purple at this school is squirrel! This is a Julie Baumann school and majority are upper-middle blonde girls who know nothing about the outside world. Drunk people causing damage everywhere and you will have to pay for it! If you want some important positions such as RA, the only thing you should do is to hook up with RLCs and RAs (or otherwise you won't be accepted)
