i'm on the red carpet eboard. it is great. i recently met one of my hostee from last semester, and all i can say is that the advice i told her has really shaped a little of her social life, and she absolutely loves it. :-)

hey, I'm a freshman and I didn't do the program last year but from what I've heard its pretty cool. You spend one night on campus with your host and then spend time during the day visiting classes or professors or such...

You usually spend one night with your host. Schedule a meeting time around 4:30-6:00, and then, you hang out with your host, ask questions, eat dinner with them, go out have fun (but stay on campus!) then in the morning, you attend a couple of classes you're interested in, so basically when you arrive you learn about the social/studying (if its a prelim night) life, and the next day, you get to know more about Cornell Academia. It's pretty cool, and no doubt you won't be dissapointed in the food! especially if you've been to another campus.
