Cornell students are stereotyped as being stressed out and suicidal. People like to make fun of the fact that Cornellians jump off the gorge to kill themselves when they can't handle the work and pressure. Cornellians are also seen as being hyper-competitive; they will sabotage other students to get an A. Cornellians are also thought of as being the "dumbest" students in the Ivy League.

Many people think that Cornell is a place for kids who have got rejected by Harvard. Also, it's said that Cornellians are a little suicidal, driven by an insane amount of workload. The horrifying jumping off the Thurston Bridge story really paints Cornell as a tough university, "easy to get in yet hard to get out." Cornell is also well-known for being a party school with lots of frat houses on West Campus.
