Describe your favorite campus traditions.

Christopher

For student s that would like the most experience out of their college lives, be mindful that you can choose to be a part of the Ithaacan community. However, be very cautious about your choice as expectations are different from reality. From my experience, the my college life has its moments, but I still wonder if I made the right choice of enrolling here. Sure this place is the polar oppositte from mmy hometown in New York City, but as time goes on I wanted my ideal college life to feel more of a lifestyle and less of a chore.

Ithaca College is best known for having started out in 1892 as a conservatory of music and then evolving into a college that offers a wide variety of majors from Outdoor Adventure Leadership to Theater and Music. More importantly, Ithaca College has received strong international acclaim for its communications program. However, the greatest trait Ithaca College is known for is having many alumni who play or have played a substantial role in the broadcasting area.

Ithaca is best known for its student news publications and shows, most notably the student newspaper called The Ithacan. The staff, made completely of students ranging from freshmen to seniors, win many awards every year. Radio stations maintained by the students and the tv station, which broadcasts silly shows for entertainment and the news show written and maintained by students, also receive attention. In addition, Ithaca is well-known for its music programs--in fact, Ithaca College was a music conservatory when it first began. The music students perform several times a year for the public.

Michael

Ithaca College is best known for its various schools. It started with the School of Music since Ithaca was founded as a music conservatory, but the college know is recognized for its School of Communications, Health Science and Human Performance (Physical Therapy, Exercise Science, Occupational Therapy), Theatre, and most recently the brand new LEED Platinum School of Business. Overall I would describe Ithaca College as a smaller school with the network, loyalty, and drive of a major university or even an Ivy League school.
