Ithaca College Students Tell It Like It Is
Thinking about Ithaca? It's a good choice, since ninety-eight percent of Ithaca graduates are employed and/or attending graduate school within a year of graduation. And that's saying something, since two of the most popular majors are in radio and television, and in film/video and photographic arts.
Do you like nature? They don't say Ithaca is GORGES for nothing! Ithaca and the surrounding areas' numerous streams have cut deep ravines and gorges into the hillsides, all of which lead to the lake. One of the most spectacular sights is Taughannock Falls, which boasts the highest free-falling waterfalls in the eastern United States.
Here's another tid-bit of info for you: In November, everyone on campus gathers at the football stadium to watch the Bombers take on their rivals, the Cortland Red Dragons. This game is known as the Cortaca Jug, and Sports Illustrated calls it the 'biggest little game in the nation.' Some game-goers like to participate in what is known as 'Kegs and Eggs' before kickoff, but being drunk is definitely not required to have a good time.
Hmm? wondering where to live?
'The dorms are small, but there are a lot of them. Live in the Terraces if you want to have a pretty view and a long walk to class. Live in the Circles if you want to believe you're not on campus and want a really long walk or a heck of a time finding a parking spot. The Upper Quads are really convenient, but they can get rowdy.'

The College Prowler Process
While writing our series of college guides, we felt it was critical that our content was unbiased and unaffiliated with any college or university. By hiring current students as authors, we strive to create college guides that truly represent each campus. Our guides cover both the good and the bad, and whether survey responses point to recurring trends or varying opinions, these sentiments are directly and proportionally expressed through our guides.
From the very beginning, student writers gather the most up-to-date stats, facts, and inside information on their colleges. They fill each section with student quotes and summarize the findings in editorial reviews. In addition, each school receives a collection of letter grades (A through F) that reflect student opinion. Once a guide is written, additional college students serve as editors and check for accuracy even more extensively. This same process is applied to all of the 258 colleges and universities College Prowler currently covers. Each guide is the result of endless student contributions, hundreds of pages of research and writing, and countless hours of hard work. All of this has led to the creation of a student information network that stretches across the nation. It’s no easy accomplishment, but it’s the reason that our guides are such a great resource.
