I Arrived!!

After an exhausting journey, I finally arrived at Cornell University. The atlantic ocean flight coordination system suffered a blackout, so my flight needed to be re-routed over skandinavia, iceland, greenland and canada (I could see icebergs from the plane)! In Manhattan, I went to the Cornell Club, which is a kind of fancy place for Cornell alumi. From there, I took the Campus-To-Campus bus line, which is a four hour drive to Ithaca.

I arrived at 1am and started searching for my dormitory, which is located downhill from the central campus. This was when I noticed just how steep those hills are. (The pictures were taken on the next day).

I had lots of trouble getting down these slopes with all of my baggage but eventually managed to get there. This is a picture of my dormitory:

I was able to check into my room even at this late time and fell asleep at once.

  1. Hi Wenzel,

    I will be attending Cornell this fall so I was doing some searching on the net for some suitable housing. I understand that you may have lived in Shuyler House and I in fact had the same in mind.

    What did you think of your stay there? Would you recommend it?

    I have lived in dorm before in Sydney and absolutely loved my time there but was wondering if Shuyler has the same lively and sociable environment.

    Thanks for your time, mate.
