Dear Student,

Many classrooms throughout campus are open and empty for studying, especially on the Arts Quad, like Goldwin Smith.  It is possible that the same is true for the Ag Quad...

Try some of the rooms in Willard Straight Hall.  The further up you go the quieter they get...  International Lounge, Music Room, 5th Floor Lounge, North Room or one of the three Lofts on the 6th floor!  And I think that the building is open late for those of you who want/need to study tlate.

Dear Nervous,  

Being intimidated by your professors is natural; they're incredibly knowledgeable and great in their respective fields of study, so of course it may be a little nerve racking to approach them at times. But you have to remember this: they became professors because they have a passion for teaching people like YOU (the students). Professors want to teach you, but they also want to get to know you and learn from you. After all this university has a tendency to produce some of the future's finest industry leaders (which can probably be intimidating for them, if you think about it)!

If you walk in to their office prepared with the questions/topics you need to discuss, I they will be more than happy to sit down and have a conversation with you. In fact, I have often overheard professors saying that look forward to talking with students during offfice hours and are disappointed when no one show up!

Dear Inquisitive,

After doing some in-depth snooping it seems that the university only has information all the available majors and minors at Cornell; however, there is no information on the number of students per program. You can find all the majors and minors listed on this website: http://www.cornell.edu/academics/majors.cfm.

Dear Tom,

After inquiring with some of the staff at the Cornell Store, it seems that these basketball jerseys were never made. Unfortunately, the store does not have any future plans on proceeding to make such jerseys.

Dear TV Fiend,

There are a few places that you will definitely be able to find cable television. These are the ones I am aware of: RPCC in North Campus, the lounges at Noyes, as well as all of the West Campus Houses. Unfortunately, some of the television lounges on West Campus are only accessible by the students who live in those dorms.

Dear Cornell Parent,

Gannett does not accept the Cornell Card as a form of payment; however, your son is able to bursar the payment if he wishes to do so. He will just need to provide his ID card at the cash payment desk and let them know that he would like to pay through the bursar account.

Dear Confused, It seems that the engineering library does not in fact have the complete, newest 5.5 version of Adobe Creative Suite; however, if you go on this website http://mapping.cit.cornell.edu/publiclabs/map/index.cfm you will be able to locate your desired software throughout the whole campus. This CIT website allows you to navigate through libraries and computer labs on campus by the software that you need. Hope this helps!
