In evaluating their overall experience at IC, students often look to what has happened beyond the classrooms. IC offers countless opportunities to learn outside of class, and the students who take advantage of those offers are generally more pleased with their education. Many students love IC because of its size. It’s hard to walk anywhere on campus without bumping into someone you know. With its great location, IC offers much off campus as well. The most common complaints are how much it costs to attend IC and the bitterly cold winter months that students have to endure. With many things in life, students’ experiences with IC are simply what they make of them. If you sit in your dorm room for four years, you will be miserable. If you experience the life Ithaca has to offer outside of the four walls of your room, you most likely won’t regret your decision to attend IC. The school’s high retention rate proves this. IC offers a great mix of academics and everything else the college life should offer—friends, fun, and a time to learn and grow.

"I love it here. There are good opportunities to be found, with a fairly good mix of decent people. You just have to go out and find it, but that’s what college is all about." |
|
"I love it. I can’t imagine being anywhere else. I think this school feels like home." |
|
"I love it here. The only problem I have is with the distance from my house. Ideally, I’d take Ithaca and move it a few hours closer to home, but obviously, I can’t do that. I’m happy enough here to suffer the long car ride home." |
|
"I love it here. My overall experience has been great. Yeah, there are things that have pissed me off with the administration and the weather and stuff, but not enough to make me want to be anywhere else." |
|
"I have had good and bad experiences at Ithaca. The weather is depressing, and the political climate is not friendly to conservatives, so there have definitely been times when I missed my home. I think I’ve learned a lot in my three years here, however, and I will take with me knowledge and friends that will last for the rest of my life." |
