Honestly, I can’t count the times I’ve worried about how academia, Ithaca, AND Cornell will perceive me and how I dress.
I’m a brown womxn from Moreno Valley. I already know I don’t fit in, lol. BUT WHEN HAVE I EVER.

If it’s one thing I noticed about Ithaca as a whole, everyone minds their business. Now in terms of Cornell, it depends but own who you are!!

Thank you!! 🥺☺️ I’m going to own it.
And yeah I was just talking about this with

. We’re use to Texas hospitality. But everyone’s just doing their own thing & that’s cool too. Different than SoCal, reminds me a bit of the Bay, but definitely different too.

I understand your worries! Entering the environment, I knew that I didn’t fit in. However, I will say the transition was smoother than expected.
