Alexandria

We love going to concerts that feature Hangover, Class Notes and etc. Yeah, those are the names of a handful of A Cappella groups on campus. If you are not a fan of musical events, there are also many theatre productions and sports games. Once in a while, we have a speaker coming down to Ithaca. I remember the long lines waiting for the opening of Dalai Lama's presentation. One piece of advice from me: don't do too many things at once.When you first come to Cornell, there are so many opportunies. At that point, you have to pick and choose based on where your passions lie. Right now, I am invovled with EARS, which is a trainning program for anyone who wants to become a counsellor or improve their communication skill. My roomate is a editor-in-chief of the economics magazine. The dorms on North Campus, where the freshmen live, vary a lot. The all-girl dorms are very roomy with gigantic closets and individual sink whereas the co-ed ones are more cramped. Overall, the dorms are very safe. We can generally leave our doors open and not worry too much about stuff being stolen. The partying scene is huge on campus as one-third of the students are part of the Greek system. On weekend, people who don't stay in to watch movies usually head down to the frats and get drunk. The parties generally starts on Thursday night and goes on until Saturday night. (Even the brothers need to study for their upcoming tests on Sunday night!)
