Ithaca College Stats, Info and Facts

I have been looking forward to coming to Ithaca College since the 9th grade and when I finally came to visit this past April, it was everything that I had hoped for and more! I am applying in the fall and I hope that I get accepted. I'm so excited!

LOVE it. Going to other college campuses made me love my school more. It's manageable to get around, yet not TOO small (compared to Cornell that's up the hill and really should have it's own zip code). And it is absolutely beautiful!

Although it is a long drive from home, it's worth it. I hardly ever feel bored with the collegetown feel of Ithaca and theres always something going on during the weekend such as concerts, shows and movies on campus. Getting downtown is pretty easy with the TCat buses which will also bring you to malls and stores like Target and Wal-Mart. Because the school is a little smaller, I found it a lot easier to meet people in my classes and dorms. There are also so many extracurricular activities to be a part of ranging from working on a television show for ICTV to raising money for cancer research. In the warm weather, most people will just head down for a hike and go to the gorges. Ithaca is a beautiful town and there are so many diverse opportunities for the students from both Ithaca and Cornell. Also, thanks to Ithaca College, I had the opportunity to study abroad in London for a semester. It was probably the best four months of my life and I met the most incredible people there and got to travel to places I never imagined I would get to go to. Ithaca has their own center in London and LA and I think that being in that small Ithaca community really helped when trying to ease into an entirely different environment. Not to mention, your financial aid and credits easily travel over!

Great collegetown and great campus, full of smart and intelligent people.

Besides activities provided on campus, there are a lot of things to do off campus. If you are a nature person, there are many trails that you can explore. The Commons also hosts a variety of events that may be of interest to some people. The college does a good job of making sure that there are a variety of events hosted on campus.
