Sheldon Court has been out of hot water since Monday, leaving residents unable to shower in their dorm.
Five years ago, Collegetown Bagels began discussions with Cornell over purchasing space in Sheldon Court. Now that their current location is going to be demolished, they will enact this plan and ensure their stay next to campus.
Not all Cornell dorms are created equal. From the moment we arrive on campus, we quickly conclude that the back alleys of the Low Rise community pale in comparison to air conditioned, plasma TV-lit, Mews Hall lounges. Before we know it, our freshman year housing perceptions extend to the greater campus, locked into a standard metric: West is best, the Gothics are much less desirable and South Campus is the housing annex. Campus culture accustoms us to evaluating a dorm based on its amenities rather than what a residential community can offer beyond a roof over our heads. A residence hall and a community have become two very different things at Cornell.
