Veteran's House
Veteran’s House is located at 625 University Ave, Ithaca, NY 14850, USA. Veteran’s House is part of the South Campus residential area; it is not part of the West Campus House System (WCHS).
Veteran’s House provides a communal, co-ed, environment to any undergraduate or graduate student interested in learning more about, and supporting, the military community. Prior military service and/or a commitment to future military service is not required to live in Veteran’s House. While the focus of the program house is to support Cornell’s student veterans, having a diverse residential program will foster an atmosphere that not only benefits student veterans but also creates a greater awareness of the unique challenges they face.
Veteran’s House also serves as a supportive community to further the success of Cornell’s military community at large. The house maintains very strong connections with other members of Cornell’s military community, including faculty and staff, the ROTC programs, and various military affiliated student organizations.
