Far above Cayuga's waters,

with its waves of blue,

Stands our noble Alma Mater,

glorious to view.

Lift the chorus, speed it onward,

loud her praises tell;

Hail to thee our Alma Mater!

Hail, all hail, Cornell!

ORIE Minor

Currently studying statistics (BTRY) and want to add an ORIE minor to complement my data science/math background. Insights on the minor - difficulty, required/recommend courses (e.g. 3510, 4580), overlap with statistics major (e.g. ENGRD 2700/ORIE 3500) ?

HADM 2230 vs. AEM 2210

Hello All, I am currently a Freshman in CAS looking to transfer to Nolan next fall, and I was wondering what Financial Accounting Course to take.

I heard AEM 2210 was better, and I'm currently enrolled in it for next semester, but I was thinking that HADM 2230 might be better since it's technically the hotel one.

Any advice would be appreciated, Thanks.

Implications for international students

I am feeling nervous about my future here in the US as an international PhD student. Do you think there will be restrictions to F1 visa or Stem OPT?

Geriatric Dog Sitting - Vet school students?

My partner and I recently moved to Ithaca, he is a grad student at Cornell and I’m in healthcare. We have a dog that is an old boy and has developed neuropathy and arthritis (possibly DM, but obvi don’t know for sure). He is incontinent of stool about 1x/day and occasionally (25% of the time) has pee accidents.

Do undergrad students in the area who plan to become vets and/or students in the vet school pet sit at all? People keep telling me that it is a great place for dog sitters because of vet school students. I am looking for someone who would be able to check on him + let him out 3x/ week on the days I’m working between 11-4PM (sitters choice what time, minimum 30 min, preferred 1hr with him).

The sitter would need to be willing to clean him up from poo accidents with our hose if he had one while I’m at my 12hr shifts. I would leave blankets and supplies out to just switch out any soiled ones but wash any rugs/ etc. myself. We do diapers at night but I try to avoid them during the day. Also would need whoever it was to give him 1x pill (mid-day pain med).

What is a reasonable $$$ offer for this? Do students even have schedules that would make this possible/ where would you go to find a sitter with these skills? Is charging a certain amount for 30 min / 1 hr depending on what they can do that day, with a bonus for any accidents an appropriate way to budget it?

We have had dog sitters but more neighbor helping neighbor pet friends scenarios vs. hiring someone to help w/ a geriatric dog and clean up poop accidents.

Thankyou.

Transferring with 70+ units?

Hi all,

I’m a prospective transfer student applying to Cornell. I’ve noticed that for the business school you can only transfer as a sophomore. Does the same policy apply to Arts and Sciences?

Additionally, on a presentation for business transfers they stated that if you have taken over 70+ units it’s best to not apply (implying that you’re in progress of your junior year). I am a CC student who for a variety of personal reasons had to delay my transfer so I have taken over this unit limit, however I am still interested in applying as a sophomore. Worth it to apply or should I just apply for arts and sciences?

Thanks!

Is this normal?

Long story short, my cousin goes to cornell n he's been really weird for about a year and half now. Cut EVERYONE off, like old friends but also his parents. Started talking to them only through zoom calls and started lying about his whereabouts, not telling anyone he was somehow in different countries (dude is broke). Parents came to check if he was ok at his apartment/dorm at school and he called the cops on them. He changed his phone number and seems to have someone else running his Instagram account. He's really smart so my first thought was maybe he got involved with some elite society lol but then I think it also has something to do with his insane girlfriend due to different things she's done in the past and the fact that it seems he's brainwashed by her and that she studied some weird psychology thing. The details I have are all scattered and odd but I'm just wondering if any of this sounds familiar to anyone and what could possibly be going on. Please no bullshit answers I know it sounds like he just hates his family and what not but it is much more than just that because it's not just his parents he cut off, and he also completely disappeared from extra curricular activities he was involved with at school. His parents also stated that in the insurance records they can see he tried to see a therapist numerous times. Lmk if anyone has any serious info about this. thx

DHHS and Project 2025

Does anyone have any ideas of what will happen to Admin in the event of a dismantling or deregulation of the DHHS considering NIH grants? Would they be kept on payroll and work alternative contracts or would roles be cut? Thinking about this today. Not sure if this kind of post is allowed.

Finding other polyglots and multilingual people at Cornell

I would like to meet other multilingual people and polyglots (whether you already speak several languages or want to speak many languages) at Cornell. I speak English, French, and German to varying levels, with English being my mother tongue. Furthermore, I can speak French at an upper-intermediate to an advanced level, and German at an intermediate level. Also, I can speak a little bit of Spanish and Tagalog.

Is there a multilingual club at Cornell? Just curious.

Some people live in the library. When you arrive, they’re already there; when you leave, they’re still there. You never even see them have lunch or dinner. Do they ever have time to socialize or have any fun?
