Ithaca College let way too many students in to the school this year, and it resulted in lot of dim-witted people enrolling. The 76% admissions rate is a joke. There are a number of classes in which a teacher asks the simplest of questions and one or two students are being called on again and again because other students don't know, or don't care.

If you're not into binge drinking, smoking pot daily, and random hook-ups the social scene here is pretty unforgiving. Even if you DO want to party here, the scene is pretty lame, and most students end up going to Cornell to drink, though IC has endless options for smoking pot or rolling E (though the former is much more prevalent). The school tries to give kids who want to have fun without getting boozed up an option with "IC After Dark" but the programs are so boring no one wants to attend them. This, I know, is kind of indicative of all colleges. The problem is at Ithaca, you don't have a big city environment to escape to, you have Ithaca, NY town of 23,000. There is little to do if you're not shit-faced.

I will not be returning to the school.
