Ithaca College has an incredible amount of camaraderie among its students. There are over 100 different programs within 5 different schools but I have friends from every major and I love that sense of diversity within the community. Students are very open to others and it is easy to have many different friends on campus. Although there is competition between students, these friends and classmates are willing to share notes and give help to their friends when they need it. This promotes a positive environemnt and I am learning even when I am not in class.
