I love love love this school. The majority of the people that go here love this school. We are an extremely open-minded campus- lgbt and trans* friendly! We do not have greek life here which I kind of like...the school isn't solely focused on its athletic superstars or fraternities. Its a huge community here and the absence of frats and sororities eliminates yet another way for the student body to create cliques. We have awesome concerts, comedy shows and events that go on every week.

You do not feel like a number here. You might have the same professor for several classes over the years and they really get to know you. It's a great way to get reccomendations for jobs before graduation. Professors for the most part are really captivating and fun, and the administration WILL know you by name. I'm about a B or B- student, sometimes C's so I'm not their top student, but the dean of the business school knows my name.

*Con: professors here LOVE group work...so be prepared if you only like to work individually.

Cornell is right next door. Seeing your friends post their frat/sorority pictures online makes you kinda wish you did the same thing at points... however at Cornell the frats and sororities throw AWESOME parties- i'm talking hot tubs and indoor beach parties, paint parties... you name it and they've done it. They also have big names come to their school and ithaca students can easily purchase tickets. At my time here at IC i've seen Maroon 5, MGMT, Taio Cruz, Flaming Lips and I'm about to go see Kendrick Lamar and Avicii.

Lots of very friendly people. The students are very diverse, and you can find every type of person here. Lot's of creative types. I spend many nights jamming with both music majors and non music majors (myself included). The only negative thing that comes to mind is the food. I often leave the dining halls not satisfied. Campus center is the worst and Terraces is the best, but still the food is not great. Plenty of delivery options, but that get's expensive very quickly. However there are food options like the Pub, Sub Connection, and the tc lounge that take the campus bonus bucks.

I stuck it out, though, and definitely can agree that Ithaca's a great school! It's what you make of it, the friends you choose, and your own personal reactions to what surrounds you. One of my favorite parts about the school is that they encourage you to explore and be creative compared to other music programs.

I contacted my adviser one time and she was arrogant and unhelpful. I haven't heard back from her. When I asked other students, who have been there a while, many had issues with getting any type of help and/or information from their advisers. When seeking help elsewhere, you will be directed back to your adviser!

When working in mandatory groups, some students are so snotty and arrogant that they refuse to have meetings at any time that would be convenient for anyone but themselves. There goes part of your grade for missing a lot of those mandatory group meetings! They don't even care if the times they pick are when you have another class. They are that selfish!

There are few graduate programs, so they really focus on undergrads, not just a bunch of big lecture halls so the profs can focus on grad students. The small class sizes and the individual focus the professors can give was the best part of the education I received.

Communications education: Communications professors were excellent and taught things in a practical manner that helped me on the job. Sometimes professors can get more academic/theoretical about their areas, but the IC communications professors taught you how to edit, write, etc for media in a hands-on, practical fashion. They did go over theories and academic analysis, but it was always combined with the practical how do I write for a broadcast side. Excellent, well rounded education -- they make you take a major outside communications to make sure you are getting exposed to things besides just media studies. Can't recommend it enough if you're looking to go into the media, I use what I learned there everyday.

Social life: No frats, but it does have a reputation as a party school. I wasn't a big party person but I still managed to find people to hang out with. If you're not into parties the best way to meet people is to join a club with your interests and make friends there -- IC is really good about this -- lots of clubs for any activity you can think of. So even if you're not into partying you can still find your niche if you focus on your interests. Fri, 12 Oct 2012 10:22:42 GMT http://www.studentsreview.com/NY/ITC_comments.html
