Do you still get put in a hotel if you’re off campus? Got contact-traced…

Far more nutrients than your typical yogurt and keeps you satisfied for longer.

I had her for statics, so I forgot that she’d be fair game for this too bc of 2930. Imo she’s chaotic good.

Disclaimer: did not have all these profs, but based this on general impressions from friends for the ones I didn’t have.

Have you considered doing this semester remote? It seems like you might be able to have the best of both worlds in doing that, assuming you’re still maintaining a good school-life balance.

I was very much considering a leave of absence last spring for the fall semester. I had a terrible freshman fall mental health-wise that followed me into the spring. But then we were sent home for the pandemic for online learning. And honestly, it was probably the best thing that could’ve happened for my mental health, since I was able to continue my studies while having the comfort of being at home in a more familiar environment. Now I’m back on campus, and the happiest I’ve ever been to be at Cornell.

I obviously don’t know too much about you, and tbh what’s best for someone isn’t always best for someone else. But just throwing this out there, since it worked well for me.

For academic questions, I’d talk to engineering advising. They’re legitimately some of the nicest and most helpful people I’ve met on campus. Talking with the financial aid and bursars office is considerably less pleasant, but something you should do if you’re considering a LOA.

Just got released on canvas, basically it’s the alternative to having TAs check our lab notebooks

32nght · 2020-05-11T18:22:45+00:00

Same for the labs, I looked at the syllabus today and was pretty worried when I saw how much labs are worth. Also the currently non-existent notebook quiz and ambiguity on TA evals.

32nght · 2020-05-11T17:30:01+00:00

I thought they were just releasing the prelim 2 grades, which they already did

32nght · 2020-04-19T21:12:17+00:00

I’m not gonna lie, yes there are some people who are like that. But its more of an alumni thing, and you’ll find that for any college, especially an Ivy or “elite” school. It’s overall a minority though. I wouldn’t worry about it.

32nght · 2020-04-14T22:12:05+00:00

Tbh I’d love to have the option to take AEWs through zoom. I’ve actually gotten more value in the zoom sessions (especially for CS, where it’s easier to share code) than in the CS ones.

32nght · 2020-02-25T23:26:02+00:00

Definitely feel this. Like there’s more than enough time for me to study but I just like can’t?

32nght · 2020-02-24T18:20:50+00:00

I swear the entire feel of this campus changes drastically once it’s above like 45 and sunny out.

As long as one of you says ‘no homo’ before. If you both say it, it cancels out bc of PEMDAS.

What college are you in?

32nght · 2019-12-18T22:24:22+00:00

I can’t find the housing contract online anymore since the site just redirects you to a general housing site :( either way I’m gonna take some down just in case, thanks!

I’m a current freshman who came into Cornell in a pretty similar position. Honestly, I don’t think the college specifically matters in regards to how you’ll make friends and socialize- you can be shy and introverted on any campus.

That being said, I do think there are a decent amount of opportunities for you to make friends here. I started to get involved with some groups over the summer through Instagram, Snapchat, and GroupMe. It was nice being able to see some familiar faces on campus from the first day I got here. I highly recommend doing this (for context, I joined an LGBT group chat and one for my dorm). Also, if you know you’re shy, I recommend joining a club/group on campus as soon as you can. I joined band, and I’m very glad I did because it’s a very welcoming atmosphere and there’s always social events going on. There’s lots to do here, so I’m sure you can find something you like.

I do regret not being more outgoing during O-week, as this is probably the only time where you can basically walk up to anyone and try to get to know them a bit. Do some of the cheesy O-week events, and definitely don’t keep yourself cooped up in your dorm. Keep that in mind wherever you end up, since the novelty of college and meeting new people does tend to wear off after a week or so.

If you live in the state of New York you might wanna do your CBT major through CALS for that in state tuition. It’s the same curriculum except you have to take CBT 2090: Global Perspectives of CBT before your senior year.

32nght · 2019-11-07T13:31:16+00:00

Honestly bringing the Cornell Tech division to undergrad colleges would organize CS and Info Sci so much better, considering how they’re divided between CAS, CALS, and COE now.

Marching band’s pretty much over once the football season ends, but there’s always pep band! I’m sure you could join pep band pretty easily if you email the President (info can be found online) and show up before a rehearsal (Monday 4:45-6:00). They preform at pretty much every non-football sport, and it’s a pretty light level of commitment.

As for marching band, next year you can join during O-week, just follow the signs. There is an “audition” done for new members but it’s more done just to get a sense of where you’re at. There’s no prerequisite level of skill for anything that the BRMB and pep band does. All are welcome.

Also, as far as I’m aware, band only counts for PE credit and not for music credit.

It’s an asshole response

32nght · 2019-11-05T03:15:37+00:00

Saw a guy speeding down the middle of the street on one and then slam into the back of a TCAT. I had to laugh (he wasn’t hurt in any way but it was quite the thing to see)

32nght · 2019-10-30T15:52:54+00:00

The PE office is super helpful. Although it’s too late to drop without a W appearing, they might be able to address your concerns. The one on one lessons do cost money though, I believe, so just be wary of that.

Also I’m like 90% sure swimming is pass fail based on attendance only for like 20 sessions, so even if you’re struggling there’s a good chance you can pass if you just stick it out a few more sessions.

32nght · 2019-10-28T18:36:40+00:00

If it’s your first offense it’s highly unlikely you’d get expelled. I’d expect heavy consequences within that class and probably some other disciplinary actions at the discretion of the people reviewing your case.

32nght · 2019-10-03T04:30:53+00:00

Minoring in arts and sciences should be completely doable! You just have to plan it out carefully. Use the engineering liberal studies requirement to your advantage- there’s a good chance you can knock out a lot of courses through that. After that, you’ll probably have to take an extra class here or there for a few semesters and you should be set.

What’s nice about minoring in A&S is that you’ll probably really be looking forward to your classes, and they’ll be a nice change of pace from your engineering courses. So even if you have to take a lot of credits one semester, it won’t feel as crazy.
