Cornell Campus

Cornell University has a beautiful campus. It is located on top of a hill between two gorges, Fall Creek on the north and Cascadilla Creek on the south. Once you’re here, from the 5th floor of the Johnson Museum of Art you can look out onto Libe Slope and the whole campus. From the A. D. White Room in Uris Library (an awesome room in itself), the view overlooking Libe Slope and Ithaca is also great. For now, view or download maps of campus. Or, even better, take a virtual tour! Alternatively, the University has a Webview livecast were you can see live views of campus.

Student Life specifically addresses … well, student life at Cornell, and you can get a sense of a typical week on campus at the Cornell Chronicle. In addition to entertainment, on any given week there are many interesting talks and lectures. The Chronicle lists them in its events page.

We try to provide the REU group with a variety of activities. We have an orientation session and a lecture series that runs twice a week during the 8 week period. We hear people tend to enjoy it.

REU students usually bond with the graduate students and other members of the project they’re working on. In addition, we also organize at least one out-of-town outing and other social events. There are several other REU programs on campus in the summer, and a few of the activities are open to all REU students.

Last year's summer undergraduate residence hall was Balch Hall, which is on the northern portion of campus, near Beebe Lake and Fall Creek. It will probably be this year's too, but we still have to receive confirmation. If you are interested in on-campus housing, you will have to fill out a housing form, which will be similar to last year's. To locate Balch Hall, visit Cornell's Housing and Dining Map.
