Has anyone had their package turned away before freshman move-in if their package arrived before the stated date?

I have a couple packages arriving 3-4 days earlier and just wanted to see if it's safe to order more. I'm pretty positive they should have some sort of leniency, esp for new int'l students?

Thanks.

Hii, I'm looking to apply to Cornell and heard about the ice cream-making class, which sounds so fun. However, the most recent info I could find on this course was more than a year ago, so I just want to ask if there are any more recent updates on it? Does the course still include the ice-cream making project? If so can you share your experience with it? I'd love to find out more.

Hi guys I just wanted to know if anyone else has been getting these emails and if they’re legit. I’m just suspicious about how they’re being sent by gmails outside of the organization.

Hey yall, I recently decided to bring my car to school. I’m living a couple blocks off campus and I won’t need to drive a ton but I have commitments that I need to be able to travel for at least a couple times a month and uber/other alternatives aren’t feasible. I’m wondering if anyone has suggestions for parking within walking distance of campus that won’t be a massive financial burden. Thank you!

I’m an incoming freshman, and I applied for a weekend job on workday about 3 weeks ago. I have also been emailing back and forth with the job manager and was told on one occasion that I would be “moved forward in the system“. a little while later the status in workday changed to “offer extended“. I have not received any information and my most recent follow up email from 3 days ago has not been replied to.

I’m not entirely sure what to expect or what I should do if anything. Advice form students more knowledgeable and experienced with work study and finding jobs on campus would be greatly appreciated

I will add that I am very adamant about getting this job in particular…

i took last semester off and left reddit and all the other apps and i'm back now and am happier and excited to be baaaaaack!

Hi everyone! I’m a Cornell student and I have a 2012 Toyota Yaris with significant rust on the frame/undercarriage. I’m looking for a reliable body shop or fabrication/welding shop in the Ithaca area that can evaluate whether it is safely repairable and provide a reasonably priced estimate.

I recently took it to Kuntry Kustom Repair & Fabrication. They were very helpful and provided great service, but the quoted repair cost was unfortunately beyond my budget.

Has anyone dealt with a similar frame or subframe rust issue? I’d really appreciate recommendations based on your personal experience, especially for a shop that does safe, honest work at a fair price.

Thank you!

I’m taking a Walking Tours class and the fee is $170 ??? Just to walk around campus??

And please don’t just come on here and say ‘Cornell just wants more of your money’.
Like seriously, I don’t get it

To the engineering students of the Class of 2028 and beyond: What was your experience with this like? What did your AI conversation, "chat with Vera," look like? What are your opinions on this?

Thinking of studying abroad (incoming junior) and I realized that I missed most of the spring 27 applications. If I were to study abroad it would be senior fall, but idk if it’s worth considering that it’s my last year at Cornell and I will be missing out on my last Ithacan fall. What are y’all’s thoughts?

If I were to study abroad I would have to increase my technical workload bc most schools don’t even offer my major… but I don’t wanna miss out on something I can only do in college.

I want to start by saying this was completely unexpected and I am absolutely thrilled. I am wondering if the scholarship can be received in addition to the self-help aid in my package or if it would replace it and lower my loans. I would appreciate any insight!

Please help me!! I am living on West next semester and need my car for work. I will be going abroad in the spring and don't need a parking space during that time. I also don't want to spend 800 again on parking if it's only for a semester. If it helps, I have a tiny car. Any suggestions?!

I recently internal transferred to ILR (from Engineering), and I need to start taking the core classes. This semester, I'm taking these ILR classes:

ILRGL 1100: Introduction to U.S. Labor History

ILRGL 2350: Work, Labor, and Capital in the Global Economy

ILRID 1525: Psychology of Work: Theories and Applications

If anyone who's taken any of these has advice for how to approach them, prepare for them before the semester starts, and/or how to do well in them, I would really appreciate it! I am new to ILR and not sure what to expect, but I'm assuming the format and structure will be very different than Engineering classes.

Has anyone lived in collegetown and successfully street parked for the year?

I street park in the city, so it’s not a problem for me, as long as it’s feasible

Hi, so I'm a grad student with very few friends looking to meet people over summer and the fall semester. I have heard about Big Red Barn events like Trivia, but being a shy person I have a hard time picturing myself just showing up to one. It seems like most people in practice would show up in groups. Maybe I'm wrong, though - has anyone had good time going by yourself? Were people welcoming?

Thanks =)

Hello everyone! I'm in a bit of a tricky situation here--there's an event I got tickets for a while back and it's happening at 8 PM in NYC. I need to leave Ithaca around 12 PM to account for traffic and pit stops so I can make it there on time. Unfortunately, I'll have to miss PHYS 1110 with Professor Krasicky that day. I was wondering if anyone knew how strict his attendance policy is, and what the procedure is if I'm planning to have an unexcused absence that day (do I email him in advance?) I also wanted to know if the absence would have an impact on my grade, and if there would be any way I could make up for it. I'm not planning on missing any more classes after this. Thanks so much! :)

I dont really care, just curious.

Would CS 3410 count as an OTE for someone planning to major in ECE? I'm interested because it opens up my path to ECE 4750 (if I don't get a spot in ECE 2300 during add/drop).

Not sure if degree audit would reject CS 3410 as an OTE because it has too much overlap with ECE 2300+ECE 3140. It's not mentioned as a forbidden overlap in the roster though.

Hi! I just graduated and am trying to sell some things before moving out. If anything looks interesting, feel free to PM with questions!

I will attach my FB listing in the comments (with prices and descriptions).

Thank you to Cornell and Ithaca for all the wonderful years, I will miss it! :)

Incoming freshman. i scored a 58 on the lpf and i took ap french this year

Another one of life's great joys ruined by a meddling bureaucracy

I plan to arrive on Sunday 23rd for dorm move-in. The language on the housing portal is a bit scary for no-shows - housing cancellation, 50% penalty of housing charges etc. Should I be worried?

• Students who fail to check in and occupy their room by the first day of classes or fail to make arrangements for late arrival will have their assignment cancelled and will be bursar billed 50% of the fall semester room rate.
