Serving Time in Ithaca (Cornell 2013) Forum

[calicocat]

So, I'm in a little bit of a pickle... everything I want for my Hughes room is 40% off right now, but I can't start shipping to school for another few weeks. Would anyone with an apartment close to campus be willing to store a few boxes until I arrive? It would be greatly appreciated!!!

Do we know what's in the rooms?

i know what will be in the rooms:

(a) books
(b) booze
and eventually
(c) the tears of unfathomable sadness.(1)

I don't think l/t/e/c was projecting. That actually is my packing list.

Found this on Cornell Housing site

What exactly is provided in a room/apartment?

All single student rooms are furnished with an extra-long-size (80 inches/200 cm) single bed, dresser, night stand, desk, desk chair, desk lamp, bookshelf, wastebasket, window shades or drapes, mirror, and wall closet with shelves. All furnished)apartments come with living room furniture: couch, easy chair(s), end table(s), coffee table, desk with chair and lamp. Kitchens have all major appliances: stove/oven, refrigerator, sink. Furnished family apartments have a main bedroom with queen-size bed, dresser, night stand, and closet; an additional bedroom would contain an extra-long single bed, dresser, night stand, and a closet. There are a few unfurnished apartments in Hasbrouck for those people requesting
them.

Isn't there a kitchen in Hughes? Is it really completely empty?

Thanks you guys, and I apologize l/t/e/c, your packing list seems right on target.

They are likely referring to the graduate apartments in that sentence. There is stuff in the kitchen to share I think, but I would bring my own stuff that normally goes in the mouth (like utensils, cups, bowls, etc.)

Haha ok thanks! Just seems like they sent out that email a long time ago already...

[holybartender]

It really isn't that interesting, it just has a schedule of events that someone posted a page or two ago. And the cornell law magazine.

[calicocat]

I don't feel like combing the thread, anyone around that can tell me where to find the Dean's cert? We have to send one in, right?

[holybartender]

I think it's under admitted students -> reserving/deferring or something like that. And yeah you need to.

Also, where did you send your final transcript? The to-do list says to send it to the grad office but I assume we just send it to the ls, right?

[mec30]

I sent mine to the grad office because that's what my school auto populated when I selected Cornell. They're smart people, they can figure it out. But the law school would probably be best, IMHO.

I'm just hoping Ithaca is not as bad as Iowa. Walking 10 mins outside in -40 or lower wind chill sucks.

After having been close to 100 most of the past week, it was like 70 this morning. I wore long pants. I love/hate LA.

It was crazy in sac, 100+ all weekend. I had to take a trip to the bay to cool off. It was crazy.

You're from Sac? Me too!! Well not since high school, but still.

Haha, small world. I'm actually from socal but I've been up in Sac working for the past year.

Sure. On this note, I assume we don't need to send in a 'final transcript' if we had already graduated at the time of application?

I searched and searched the law school site and never found anything specifying that we needed to send anything other than the dean's cert. I assumed "professional" students didn't need to sent the official transcript, since that to-do list is the only mention I saw of it (and they specify it's for "grad students only")...

[legallybrunette16]

wait, wait, wait... I know we've gone over the dean's cert a million times... but for some reason, I did not think that every person had to turn it in. Am I completely off base??

I remember there was a note in the initial admissions package that mentioned to send final transcripts to the law school directly.

I think all ABA accredited law schools need a dean's certification. Its an outdated thing that really only law schools ask for anymore. But if they haven't sent you an email, I wouldn't sweat it.

Only certain people have to turn it in for application. Everyone has to turn it in for matriculation.

Any of you LA people want to grab lunch or something next week? I'm going to be on Catalina Island from Sunday to Friday, but I'll probably spend some time in LA.

I can do anything after the 28th. Anyone else around?

This might not be new info for most of you, but according to the TCAT website, it takes 30+ minutes to get from Collegetown to Wegman's.

The Wegman's that's <2 miles away.
