    The campus is a construction zone right now. According to the timeline, everything is supposed to be finished by the end of the fall semester of 2013, however, gauging from the lack of progress made in the past couple of years, construction will not be finished until 2015. Learn how to study. The block plan is stressful, and if you don't know how to manage your time, you will not succeed.

    Try to imagine yourself taking classes One Course at a Time. Each class is taken on its own over a three and a half week period. It's a lot of work, but also a great way to study effectively.

    If you want a place where you will be accepted for who you are, Cornell College is the place for you. The block plan calendar can be hard sometimes but it is amazing what you can learn in a month. The town is small and quiet but you can go to Iowa City or Cedar Rapids within a hour.
