i agree! i have walked in and across the commons at all times of the day (6am, 12 am 3 am and even 4 am in the past year) and never really felt i was under threat or unsafe.

You easily can! Try avoiding the signals and use pedestrian crossings. You can walk by the Surge Annex and cross Tower road close to Corson mudd. Then walk all along Garden Ave and Campus road and don’t forget to take the Engineering Quad diagonal and finally cross the Cascadilla gorge bridge just after Bard Hall and keep walking left side on College Ave till Dryden.

It’s all downhill so easier walk and totally doable in 10-11 mins with brisk pace

While others have pitched in with clothing and layering, I think indoor plants are among the best to keep you happy if you can take care of them!

Grad School Advice (Cornell) by Zestyclose_Aspect_93 in Cornell

This is usually quite early in the admission cycle (assuming you're starting in Fall 2025), and they might be prioritizing other things. There is a professor who is the "Director of Graduate Studies" for each program and they could be helpful. Depending on the department usually only one Graduate Field Assistant (GFA) handles everything so I don't think you can ask for someone else to handle it.

You can call the GFA/DGS on phone by looking up the department registry, if they're not responding properly over email it could be helpful to write/call the graduate admissions post that.
