Its amazing. Classes are challenging but enjoyable. It has a good reputation. And is very exciting (has lots of activities around campus).

Cornell is really beautiful. The first month or two in the fall and the last month in the spring makes all the cold worth it.
Students tend to hang out with their friends from freshman year dorms or student organizations they are involved with. The large size of the school is really a non-issue because everyone finds a group of friends

Cornell is HUGE and I wouldn't have it any other way. There are always different people to talk to so you don't feel penned in by a small group of friends. The community is very strong even though we may not be united. We have a thriving Collegetown where you can get anything from a bagel to a bike to a bottle of rum.

The best things about Cornell is the diversity. I love that my friends all come from very different backgrounds, and we can learn so much from each other. I would not be able to learn these types of things if I had gone to another school. Another thing that I love about Cornell is that all of my friends are in one of the top programs in their field. We have one of the top architecture schools, engineer schools, and hotel school. The other schools are all very good too.
The school is a perfect size. It is small enough that I know people that other people who are not in my major know, but big enough to not know everyone you pass on the sidewalk.
When I tell people I go to Cornell, they either say "Congratulations" or they have never heard of it.
I don't know very much about Cornell's administration, which speaks poorly of it. I don't know what they are doing.
The biggest recent controversy on campus was the "Juicy Campus" website.
I think there is a lot of school pride, but I see students wear appeal of our competitors. This makes me sad.

The best thing about Cornell is that there is such a diversity of students, classes, majors, and extracurricular activities. This allows students to fit in somewhere.

Cornell is definitely a work hard, party hard school.
The gorges are amazing. Not many schools have waterfalls in the middle of the campus.

The best thing at cornell is the large student large, which also means large student organizations and activities. It is such a great school where you can find everything you want to do and are interested in. One thing I would change is grading system. I think cornell has too harsh on grades, which depresses many people quite a bit. With better grading system, cornell would be a perfect college to go to.
I spend more of my time in libraries......:(
Also, I think the most frequent studnet complaints are about weather.

The best part about Cornell is the atmosphere in general (especially in spring.) Most of the people I know are very friendly and everyone is always eager to learn. In addition, the party scene is phenomenal and there is always some type of event to go to. Cornell is the perfect school for me, and I couldn't imagine myself anywhere else.

Cornell is a huge place with incredible opportunity. However, to find the opportunity or to become involved one has to work to find it and become a part of it. Cornell pushes you to become the best of the best, to develop ambition, and work ethic.
