A Letter from a Sister
Living in 117 was a truly amazing experience that was pivotal to my overall Cornell experience. I remember the day I dragged my bags and boxes into room 211 and rushed to put the room together as fast as possible with my roommate. The house immediately felt like our home.
Jen and Jess, our super cool houseparents, made us smile, laugh and feel taken care of each day. Our outstanding chef's delicious meals lifted my mood every morning at breakfast and stuffed our stomachs at Sunday brunch. Dinner is served every night at 6pm: this was always my favorite time because I could take a break from work and just talk and hangout with my friends.
After dinner, we would all carpool to the library or, if we were feeling tired, the chapter room. When we were done with work, we would gather in the living room to watch a movie all together before bed. My favorite was when we had taco night for dinner and watched Just Go With It all together after studying.
Overall, living in 117 was the best year ever and allowed me to get so close with everyone in my member class. I wouldn’t trade it for the world!
Warmly,
Jane Sidon
