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)

Elmira College is very much like a 1950s college. Freshmen especially are treated more like summer-campers than students. They are required to 'sing to the President' as well as get involved in clubs and activities that are very childish. Their no-tolerance drug policy is so intrusive that everyone is suspect - but their alcohol policy is so open that students frequently visit the local hospital for alcohol poisoning. If you're a freshman or sophomore don't count on getting the courses you want, let alone need, they offer the bare minimum which means sometimes you get shut out of courses you need to graduate.

I graduated from Elmira a long time ago when it was still a women's college so my experience might not be relevant to students today. I cannot say I enjoyed Elmira, however. Academically, I did get a good education and was prepared for graduate school when I left. My undergraduate education was sound and I have achieved professional success. However, the overall atmosphere of the college was provincial and boring. The town was awful and it doesn't sound like it's improved much over the years. That silly singing all the time drove me crazy and it sounds like it still goes on--along with purple foolishness everywhere. Elmira offered a good education but you had to be the type of person who could enjoy a summer camp or cruise ship/type phony enthusiasm--and from the comments I read on this site it sounds like it is still the same.
