Just aim to live with other transfers. The old transfer center wasn't exactly the most posh building on campus...

Sorry for popping in, but you just provided my laugh for the day as I was skimming new posts. You picked a college where at least half the months you are there will have snow and you are concerned about snow?

Snow actually can be quite nice, you might like it. Or you might not. One thing you may have trouble adjusting to is the fact that, during the winter in Ithaca, it's almost always cloudy. Ithaca is absolutely gorgeous spring through fall, but winters are gloomy and depressing, unless you like cold and cloudy.

I think that living in one of the newer dorms in West Campus (Alice Cook, Becker, Rose, Bethe, Keeton) is probably the best option for transfers. You'd probably get put in a suite of other transfers, the dorms will be new and clean, and you won't have to go outside to eat. The only part about West that sucks is that you have to walk up the slope to get to class, but I think it's a small price to pay.
