- 380Hi Lorie, I would recommend calling the Office of Admission to have a conversation about merit scholarships and the Office of Student Financial Services about need-based financial aid. By having a conversation, we can tailor the information to you specifically. However, I can provide some more general information here, as well. Just by applying to Ithaca College, students will automatically be considered for merit aid that ranges from $5,000 to $16,000. When students apply for need-based aid, by completing the FAFSA and CSS Profile, they will also be considered for grants, loans, and work study options. Over 90% of our students receive some type of aid and there are many factors that determine a students final cost at Ithaca College. To contact the Office of Admission, call 1800-429-4274 http://www.ithaca.edu/admission/contact/ To contact the Office of Student Financial Services, call 1800-429-4275 http://www.ithaca.edu/finaid/ You can also complete the Student Net Price Calculator on line to explore your eligibility for aid at Ithaca College. Please keep in mind the information you provide will directly impact the accuracy of the information the Net Price Calculator provides: https://ithaca.studentaidcalculator.com/survey.aspx Please keep in touch with any other questions. Best Regards, Cynthia

82Hey Mary! My apologies for the late reply. Now, there are so many activities that happen on campus. We have a great school of music that has free concerts almost every day. Our theatre school is also really good and also puts on shows through out the year. Different clubs will also often out on events like plays, open mikes, spoken word poetry as well as community service activities. There is an irganization that puts on free holiday events like a haunted maze for halloween and a dating game show hosted by our school's President for valentine's day. There are also lot's of visiting speakers and lectures that are free as well. There is so much more I can't remember but it's definitely not boring!- 82On dorms, are you asking specifically how dorm rooms are set up or are you asking about dorm life? I can answer either! :D

42"The Aesthetic Appreciation experience provides each student with the opportunity to develop a “path” that “elevates the human spirit and affirms connection of the individual to a larger cultural context, not limited to but often expressed as a work of art.” The definition that is the basis for the approach taken here comes from John Dewey’s Art of Experience and holds that aesthetic appreciation can be developed through multiple ways not limited to what are considered traditional areas of the arts. Structured experiences built around designated “art events” are the first tier in developing aesthetic sensibility, and “open” experiences provide broader options. One from a list of support courses will also be required. A final aesthetic appreciation reflective essay will be required and entered in the student’s Learning ePortfolio. A number of methodologies will be incorporated in these various learning experiences." Find more info here: http://www.ithaca.edu/provost/docs/coreexperience/CETFfinalreport/

- 380Ithaca College has 5 Schools: Business, Communications, Health Sciences and Human Performance, Humanities and Sciences, and Music. Many students choose IC because they can major in one area and minor is something completely different. You can also start undecided in the Exploratory Program. There are over 200 student organizations on campus (and yes, there is a competitive Equestrian Team.)

- 1917I am good at classical piano!
- 380Hi Bailley and Pedro, the School of Music at Ithaca College provides a classical base for all students. There is an option to study Jazz; however students would then be taking both classical and jazz lessons. For the audition, students will still perform a classical piece and in addition, perform a jazz piece for a professor. Keep in touch with any other questions, Cynthia
