Weep for our country.

Edit, 5:04 PM EST: Ugh. So Dad and I cruised around the Cornell campus. It is freaking huge. You could fit most of Whitman into the Arts Quad. I only looked at three places (a few fell through). Of those, two were way too expensive for their condition/location. The third was really nice. It's the attic floor of a private home, currently undergoing renovation. The house and lawn are beautiful, and it's maybe three blocks from the history department. The apartment itself is pretty big, it will be newly renovated, it has the internet and a washer/dryer, and it costs an obscenely small amount of money. The downside? I would need to pay my own utilities, and there's no stove. Hmmmmmm.

Holy crap. I guess having all the dorms and apartments on the north bank (I'm guessing that's what they are, at least) exaggerates things a little bit, but still.

I was struck by how hilly it was compared to Whitman. Also, I didn't really explore the campus, just the bookstore area and law school/college town area. But yeah, its huge.

You can make a lot of things in a hot pot, and an electric wok is handy, too. I'd go for it.

Can't bake muffins in a wok, yo.

I would take it. I know from experience that utilities are not that bad when it is just one person. And as for the stove, I would go with amyviking's advice. What grad student has time to bake anyway?
