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.
