We've received an overwhelming response from current residents in the First Year Residence Hall Program. I have learned to not only be independent and take on responsibility, but I have learned that it is okay to turn to people for help when it is necessary. If you are looking for a community feel and 100 instant friends, a first year residence hall is the place to be. The atmosphere in the first year residence hall is really friendly. Everyone is eager to meet people.
Doors are always open here.
Like many of these students, you may feel anxious about making new friends, living with a roommate for the first time, excelling in your classes, wondering what opportunities you will be able to get involved with, how you will manage your time with all your new responsibilities, or even being away from home. The First Year Residence Hall Program is designed with these concerns in mind. Foster a connection between you and the Ithaca College community. Provide an opportunity for you to set the direction for and develop the environment in which you will live. Foster a sense of community and appreciation for diversity among the residents.
