# Getting around

At first glance, Ithaca may seem like a small, student-driven town isolated by farmland and an obsession with organic produce. Soon, however, you will see that this beautiful little niche is popping with culture, activity, and plenty of waterfalls to explore.

## Cornell&#x20;

Cornell is divided into North Campus, Central Campus, West Campus, Collegetown, and the Vet school. North and West are reserved for dorms, while Central is where you will find the academic buildings. If you're hungry, Collegetown is where you can find restaurants and fun places to hang out.

Our lab is located in Martha Van Rensselaer Hall (MVR) on the edge of central and north. The adjoining building, the Human Ecology Building (HEB) is where our RA's code behavioral videos. Our coding room is HEB 201. This room is shared with the Early Childhood Cognition Lab.

## TCAT

If you don't have a car and don't feel like walking, the TCAT is the way to go. Busses run all over campus, and can also take you to the Commons, the Mall, Wegmans, etc. Bus passes are free for Cornell Staff and are loaded directly onto your Cornell ID card during orientation. If you plan to use the bus frequently, I recommend downloading the app.
