So let me tell about myself because most people at Ithaca are not as "normal" as I would like to consider myself.(not saying anything wrong with that). I was very social in high school, I played sports but didn't wish to continue in college(if you want to play a sport at Ithaca you can for the most part) and yeah idk just pretty normal you can catch the drift. I would say if the university i went to offered greek life I would join in a second.

Now academically if you like attention ITHACA IS A GREAT PLACE ACADEMICALLY. I did poorly my first semester and the next semester simply went in to my teacher's office hours a few times a week and earned a 4.0. If you want to spend the time to earn grades you will earn them just make sure you go in and see your teachers.

so socially there is no greek life. THE PARTYS ARE TERRIBLE. It is just small houses that let in crazy amounts of people. I've been to over 50 parties and have maybe once seen a form of a dance floor in one. It is just really crowded houses of drunk people talking. I've been able to make a lot of friends because of my social skills so I usually don't have a hard time getting in(everyone will at some point). but this is the worst part, you won't get into any remotely "cool" party unless you know people. Most of the houses that have party are owned by people are sports teams. If your not an athlete your social life is likely to suck. If you like smoking pot good cause that will be your friday and saturday nights. (hence great school for SERIOUS pot heads, if your a poser you'll lose your image of yourself quickly) so if your looking to have the sweet typical frat life social experience don't make the same mistake I did ITHACA IS NOT FOR YOU. most of the girls thirst for athletes ridiculously, really hard to get girls if your not a athlete. i guess it'd be a different experience that i wouldn't know about if i was an athlete so yeah my typing sucks im not that stupid just lazy
