What are some stereotypes about Ithaca students?

Many people believe that we're middle to upper-middle class preps all from Long Island or upstate New York. I've also heard people believe that everybody smokes weed constantly.

Are the stereotypes accurate?

I'm not from New York state and I don't smoke weed so I don't think those stereotypes are completely accurate. I've met a wide variety of people at IC.

Ithaca: The Big Picture

I love that IC puts an emphasis on hands-on experience. I might change the weather, because I'm already from a cold area and sometimes I wish I'd chosen somewhere with a milder climate.

Ithaca Academic Life

Students are competitive depending on the major. Music, communications, theater, and health science students are the most competitive in general. With all the other majors you have some dedicated, competitive students and some slackers. I was a music major with a concentration in Integrated Marketing Communications and I loved it. However, my career goals required more training in IMC so I flipped the two. Now I'm a music minor.

Ithaca's Student Body

Most students are pretty liberal. Actually, you might say we're mostly libertarian. However, the campus isn't so political that if you're politically conservative everybody will shun you.
