Cornell University Top Questions

Just - Cornell, for all of its flaws, is a wonderful place. (except for the bloody hills!)

Cornell is definately a place we love to hate. Sometimes I would give anything in the world to go home and never come back, but then other times I look around and realize how happy and lucky I am to be there. It's somewhat of a rollercoaster, to be honest, so get ready.

GO BIG RED

You can have an awesome college experience anywhere, but here's a few things that I think makes Cornell stand out... 1. Academic Standard: Bottom line, the people here are talented in so many ways...the people who teach us are even more talented...and the people who hold this university together are progressive thinkers. You'll be challenged, and you'll love it 2. Location: You'll be surprised how much having a beautiful campus keeps your spirits up! 3. Tradition: Cornellians are proud of everything Cornell! Sports, academics, you name it!

Cornell is great if you can handle the workload

This survey took way too long. I love Cornell, most days. Some days I hate it. Its a complicated relationship between me and my Alma Mater. Its a beautiful place, a wonderful town, filled with bright, fun, caring people. But the academic rigor would quell many a fine spirit. For the most part, the admissions dept tries to select (I believe) for people who have a certain... resilience, and drive, to succeed here. If that's you, by all means, apply and get the most out of what Cornell has to offer. But please don't f* up the curve :-)

I actually chose to stay here for my M.Eng for another semester... to get a bit more time here and shift my career focus a bit. I got a job offer from every company I interviewed with (5/5), and I definitely feel really well prepared for the future!

The weather has an affect on moods here, people are distinctly happier and more agreeable when its warmer. Everyone here is very insecure, no one wants to just chill.

The food is wonderful but the housing is aweful. There aren't enough dorms for the student body and the lottery is terrible.

YAYYYY!!! UP Till Dawn is a fabulous organization that helps fundraise for St. Jude. Please join!
