As first-years and transfer students get their bearings, alumni share their memories of making a home on the Hill<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Joe Wilensky<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

August has long been a time of change on the Hill, as thousands of Cornellians arrive on (or return to) campus for the fall semester. This year, the annual repopulation posed the largest logistical challenge ever, as the three newest residence halls on North Campus<\/a> welcomed their first residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today\u2019s system of Move-In and Orientation is a multi-day, highly managed and staffed affair that connects to the University\u2019s broader new-student experience. That includes varied programming<\/a> for first-years, transfers, and their families\u2014such as tours, open houses, info sessions, entertainment, lawn parties, receptions, and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Additionally, about a quarter of new students get an even earlier start, participating in a bevy of pre-Orientation programming, from outdoor excursions and retreats to community service projects.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The effort to help 7,728 students settle into their rooms this fall relied heavily on staff and faculty volunteers\u2014who filled the equivalent of 435 full-time shifts to assist with parking, directions, and coordinating the unloading of cars packed with belongings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(The University even celebrated the many dogs<\/a> who visited campus for Move-In in an Instagram Reel.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a happy set of days, with very few complaints,\u201d says Karen Brown, director of campus life marketing and communications, \u201ceven though it can be a stressful day for somebody who\u2019s getting ready to say goodbye to their baby.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In recent years\u2014largely, to reduce crowds during the pandemic\u2014the move-in process had been extended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year\u2019s shift to five full days (from three) saw first-years and transfers <\/strong>arrive Monday through Wednesday and returning students Thursday and Friday, with each arriving family scheduled for a time slot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The process of acclimating to campus (which now includes receiving an extensive online to-do list<\/a> before arrival) is very different from what many alumni remember from even a few decades ago, when it was far less official and scheduled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe student move-in experience has evolved a lot over the years\u2014from the days of lone students on trains with steamer trunks to the present day, with its army of volunteers who greet new arrivals,\u201d says University history expert Corey Earle \u201907. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHowever, the excitement and energy around the start of a new academic year hasn\u2019t changed\u2014with its mix of anxiety, anticipation, and opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

We asked alumni to share their Move-In memories; the following is a sampling of responses. Please add your own in the comments!<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Three trains, one suitcase<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI recall my parents giving me a train ticket to send me from Milwaukee to Cornell alone, age 17, in the fall of 1953. With one large suitcase weighing almost as much as I did\u2014and no wheels\u2014I had to change trains in Chicago and Buffalo to finally arrive in Ithaca on the Lehigh Valley Railroad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The University bus deposited me at the temporary dorms at the bottom of the Library Slope, where I dragged my suitcase up a flight of stairs to meet my two roommates.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

\u2018No sense in us waiting around\u2019<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy parents drove me and all my stuff packed into the back of our ancient station wagon on a beautiful day in August 1983. Then it was off to U-Hall 3, where four football players quickly heaved all my carefully collected and curated belongings into my tiny dorm room in a matter of minutes. They advised us to hightail it up to Lynah Rink to get my ID if I wanted to have dinner that night. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we arrived, we discovered a sea of students wrapped around the building. \u2018Well,\u2019 my father said. \u2018I guess this is it. No sense in us waiting around. See you in a few months.\u2019 A few quick hugs and they were gone. I was on my own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An hour later, with my Cornell ID in my pocket, I headed out, having only a vague sense that I needed to head downhill. I remember the thrill of navigating the campus and deciding to take whatever pathway interested me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI filled a trunk with clothes, a bedspread, towels, and other necessities. The boy next door said, \u2018Connie, you have enough here for all four years!’ <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Somehow it was shipped by freight from my house to my single dorm room on the top floor of Clara Dickson. Unloaded, it disappeared until the end of the second semester. Who knows where Cornell stored it and all the others we co-eds had sent to campus?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I still have that trunk, now filled with photos, my Cornell diploma, and who knows what else. It is covered and serves as an end table in my bedroom.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tale of two fugitives<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI arrived on campus in the middle of Orientation week, assigned a single in U-Hall 5. I dumped my suitcase in the room and went to dinner. That night a relative of mine appeared at my door with a friend in tow. They needed a place to sleep\u2014and, as it turned out, to hide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Early the next morning came a pounding at the door. I cracked it open a few inches to find three police officers asking after my guests by name; I said I didn\u2019t know where they were. During this exchange other doors on the hall popped open, and I had my first sight of my hallmates. The cops split.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later that morning I started to meet my hallmates and introduce myself. It was a mark of their character that they neither shunned nor questioned me. I am in touch with some of them to this day, and we have never discussed it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fizzy faux pas<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI had just arrived from Ohio, where I grew up. I joined my three roommates, all from New York or New Jersey. When I saw a vending machine outside our room, I said, \u2018Wow, we have a pop<\/em> machine!\u2019 The resulting strange looks and chuckles made it clear that I wasn\u2019t in the land of \u2018pop\u2019 anymore. With my move to Cornell, I had entered \u2018soda\u2019 land.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stairway to Dickson<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was September 1950 when my father and I drove up to Clara Dickson, hopped out of the car, and looked around at my surroundings. My room was on the third floor and we started climbing the stairs, arms loaded with my clothes and bedding.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compliments to the chef<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy parents and little brother, who was seven at the time, drove me up and helped me move into High Rise 5. The day itself was a big blur, but one memory that sticks out was taking my family to RPCC for our last meal together before they left. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After eating a little, my brother loudly exclaimed that he wished he was staying at Cornell for school because he would eat the pizza every day\u2014it was that good! We all burst out laughing, and it made for a really cute moment before my family headed back home.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting the message<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cU-Hall 5 was very utilitarian\u2014as in spartan. The cinder block construction and the basics of a bed, desk, closet, and mirror made me realize that the only time I would spend in that room was to sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I established a great routine of attending classes, working out at Teagle Hall, dinner at the Statler cafeteria, and studying at Uris Library. Since I realized that meeting as many people as possible would make my adjustment to Cornell easier, I schmoozed while I attended classes or went to the library and any other place I could meet people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I knew I had achieved my transition when I\u2019d come back to the dorm at night and the message board for phone calls was split in half. One side was marked \u2018Everybody\u2019 and the other half was marked \u2018Steve Ludsin.\u2019 I was at home on the Hill!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
