  • Other options include Maplewood and Hasbrouck, but those are much farther away and probably not worth it.

Wow thanks for making this. Not gonna lie, going in Cornell wasn't a top choice for me. However the more I do research/talk to people/think about it, the more attractive of a choice it becomes...also the scholarship they gave me doesn't hurt either haha :wink: .

Checking in as well. I recall some discussion in the applicants thread about anxiety related to moving to Ithaca with s/o. That's definitely my largest concern at the moment.

Anyone else notice the "moral obligation" to repay their scholarship if possible at the bottom of their scholarship note. I'm all about alumni paying it forward and all, but man that's blunt.

Checking in! Cornell has given me the most aid out of all my choices, but I also have the fear that my SO will be unemployed and bored for 3 years

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they've had that line in there since back in the day when tuition was low and scholarships were rare. No idea why they don't realize how weird that looks.

Added a couple of links to the OP about S/O employment. Of the few people I know who brought their S/Os to live with them in Ithaca, I know one got a job as a teacher and another got some research assistant position with a prof in the University.

Took me about a week and a half from faxing the forms, but I submitted my Need Access well before that.

Does anyone know the average time it takes for a decision on the travel subsidy for admitted student days?

Communicate now with those who not only know what a legal education is, but can offer you worthy advice and commentary as you complete the three most educational, yet challenging years of your law related post graduate life.

I can tell you that, three years ago, it took 2 days.
