I know Kellogg has KWEST and Tuck has a bunch of pre-term programs, so I'm glad Johnson has gotten onboard.

I will say, after my initial excitement wore off, I may not be able to pull one of these trips off since it conflicts with my move/road trip to Ithaca (i.e. moving after the trip sounds like a disaster, moving before a little earlier than I'd like)...not to mention I've already mapped out a bunch of travel this summer because I wasn't anticipating this...

Oh well - looks like I have until April 17 to figure it out!

Anyone else think it's awesome that this year is the first for BRadventures?

https://www.johnson.cornell.edu/New-Students/Big-Red-Adventures-Trips.aspx

Thought it was pretty cool too.. I probably won't go, which is sad because as I visited schools and saw all of their pre-mba trips I thought to myself, man Cornell is missing this. It would be a great opportunity to meet people before school.

I actually think the Chile trip looks the coolest, but not sure how many other people would go..

For me, amazing. Exceeded my expectations in terms of feeling welcomed, quality of applicant pool, and fun. Can't wait to get back. I hope others agree.

Good question, I'm actually in Ithaca right now (throwing my own DJ) Great experience! Got my DJ goodie bag from admissions. I would love to hear more about DJ though. Unless the rule is "what happens in DJ stays in DJ"

DJ was excellent. It nailed just about everything you'd expect in an ASW:

- woo'd us with catered food, drinks, goodies, socials, and student hosts
- kept us busy from start-to-finish
- threw a bangin' party
- gave me a fresh dose of "wow this is really happening and my life for the next 2 years is going to be completely different than the corporate work-life"
- left me with a clear preview of what life might be like at XYZ school (in this case, Johnson), everything from the feeling of return to a classroom lecture setting, to walking to Sage Hall from my apartment of choice, to the vibe you get from future classmates (the current 1st Years)

the decision is clear. GO JOHNSON!

Nothing too exciting. A couple of water bottles, some folders with DJ info and Johnson info, a spiffy messenger bag, and some other random stuff. I was hoping for a shirt, but no luck, I'll have to order one instead.

OH yes, and where should I be living? I am a 28 y/o Former Marine Officer who is single who doesn't like parking issues ( i got a parking ticket last week within 20 minutes of being on campus for my interview) but enjoys a few beers for socializing.

Check out the DJ housing guide in the first post here. If you're looking for roommates you'd be better off posting on the FB page or on ning. Welcome to the club, see you at rulloffs for a few beers in August.

Fairview is a solid spot - it's unfurnished (which is a plus for me) and parking is extra. I think there are some folks on Ning/FB who locked down a 2 BR apt and are looking for a roommate.

Collegetown is good too - walking distance to campus, close to bars/restaurants, not sure about parking. Downside I found was a lot of places are furnished in this area which jacks up the rent a bit and using your own furniture doesn't bring the price down.

Agreed, collegetown (collegetown terrace/casa roma specifically) has some great apartments, but super expensive for the area. If you're looking for a nice place, and price isnt a huge issue, I'd go there. If you want more of a "college" experience, Fairview seems like the place. If you're bringing a family, or enjoy more of a relaxed atmosphere, the cayuga heights area may be better. All of these areas are walkable (under a mile) to sage, and are also on the campus bus route.

I'm thinking about Cayuga Heights, but since the wife's not coming, I may end up at fairview.
