Although I’m sure the creators of North Campus meant to construct another damp and depressing group of dorms (West Campus reminds me forcibly of J.K. Rowling’s Knockturn Alley), they somehow stumbled upon the formula for a home, a community unto itself. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but on North Campus, I knew I was warm and safe and, oh, so loved. Nowadays, I walk a mile into campus from my freezing apartment in Collegetown every morning. It’s a completely new world, and not necessarily worse than the bubble two miles across campus. North Campus is its own haven from the coldness of Cornell; take full advantage of the time you spend there.
