r/Cornell

I don’t know why she’s so negative. Never have I ever met an advisor who constantly underestimates me. Truly I think there’s some deep rooted prejudice or something that Cornell needs to figure out because she’s literally the director. Not sure how she got there. As soon as I make it I’m reporting her.

Recently realized Ithaca is… really far from everything 😭

I’m thinking about buying a used car, but I know basically nothing about cars in the U.S. Budget is limited, so I’m mainly looking at used cars.

Would love advice on:

• Good cars for Ithaca/winter
• Where people usually buy used cars

Also, if anyone is planning to sell their car before leaving Ithaca, feel free to DM me 🙏

So, I may have written a comment alluding to re-enacting what Mikey did, and Reddit told me that was a bad thing:

Good job, Board of Trustees. Reddit knows better than you dumb f***s.

It's clearly not. Some people say that they never found Cornell classes hard, or that its really hard to get below the median or whatnot, but I don't understand how seemingly everyone says that when by definition 50% got below the median.

Anyone going to Ny tomorrow morning? I was looking for a ride for 3 people we will pay!

hello all. so unfortunately i got a little flustered when some students were asking me questions and i hit one with my car and then fled the scene. i also used official university communication channels to misrepresent what happened. this isnt the first time i mess up my job and i actually dont have any intentions to learn from this or change my behavior, if that helps. what are the chances of me facing any kind of accountability? AITA?

I have diagnosed ADHD and Dyslexia and honestly, I’m at a point where I feel like I can’t keep up anymore because my symptoms. Unfortunately, I think the workload is making them even worse (two hours of sleep a night makes reading the next day even harder).

I’m terrified that if I get accommodations going to be ostracized by my department. Sometimes people are so cut throat here… the things I overhear make me feel like the smallest sign of ‘weakness’ will lead to lost opportunities and respect.

I don’t know what to do. Sometimes I think I should just drop out entirely.

Persona Non Grata - thoughts?

Awaiting my cease and desist now.

I know it’s a bit of a long shot but I was accepted to a really important internship this summer and unfortunately had my housing situation fall through
:( would any fellow Cornellians near/in midtown Manhattan be willing to let me crash with them for just the first week of June? Willing to pay!! (Im also female)

Hi! A friend and I are living in collegetown over the summer, and need places to park cars. The official garage rate seems quite expensive, and given that the summer has fewer people around, I was wondering if there would be any way for us to sublease parking spots, for example, at discounted rates. Thank you!

Full update on the resolution of the recent vehicular incident. Posting for informational purposes.

What a contradictory piece of shit.

I thought you “waited until I saw space behind the car and then, using my car’s rear pedestrian alert and automatic braking system, was able to slowly maneuver my car from the parking space and exit the parking lot”

Purposefully decides to not hold a hearing because a hearing would “bring more attention to the activists”.

Fuck Mikey

I am currently a second semester senior about to graduate and, these past four years have absolutely destroyed me.

I went to Cornell with such high hopes of making friends and going into big law. Since being here, I’ve been cast aside by two cliquey friend groups, bullied out of a club, and told by a ‘friend’ that I have a ‘poor work ethic’ so they didn’t want to be friends with me.

I’m incredibly hurt but moreso, just really angry. And furthermore, I feel that the advent of AI has ruined my education and job prospects.

Originally, I struggled to get my work done simply because I’m a deep thinker and wasn’t used to such harsh time constraints. But, I always did it and got good grades.

Moving forward, after I found out about chat gpt, I became addicted and started cognitively offloading for two years because I struggled with my essays.

It was the worst decision of my life and I feel like I’ll never be the same because of it. I don’t even know how to write anymore or what all these tools should mean in my life and non-existent career.

I feel so alone, like I have no one to relate to, and just wish I had homeschool because this place destroyed my identity as both a student and human being.

Does anyone have insight into this class

I accidentally left a bag of edibles on my desk in the dorms. I’ve already turned in my key. Am I cooked?

absolving Kotlikoff of all responsibility.

Ill pick it up or pay for shipping. I just don't want to pay $60 at the book store
