Great school. Blue collared Ivy

Cornell has a beautiful campus and that is well suited to the number of students enrolled. It is a very big school which i think is good because I came from a small school where I've known the same people for 14 years. At Cornell I meet new people every day. The collegetown is not as comprehensive as I would like, but then again, Ithaca is a small place, so it's about what you would expect.

its a great school overall, I think everyone can find people they get along with and be happy here.

I think the campus is beautiful at cornell, even in the worst weather, the buildings and trees look beautiful. As far as things I would change, I think some of the professors are unapproachable and are not that interested in helping students (but I guess this is characteristic of most college campuses). I think there is a good amount of school pride but this would increase significantly if the athletic teams were better. For example, I think there was a lot more school pride because the basketball team did so well this year. I think as far as the most frequent complaints, would be students complaining about work loads.

The most frequent student complaints are about class registration. Students have to get up at 6:30 am to sign up for classes they want. The best thing about Cornell is the beautiful campus and fun students. I felt there was a lot of school pride this year with our men's and women's basketball teams winning the Ivy League. I spend most of my time on central campus near the clock tower, Willard Strait Hall, and Uris Library. One thing I would want to change is eliminate the gym membership and bus pass fee.

Cornell is a huge school with so much to offer. There are 13,000 undergraduate students and the campus is extrmely spacious and beautiful. On the way to class, I often cross a bridge that crosses a waterfall and the school has plantations, too. It's cold, and I think the temperature may turn a lot of people off, but it wasn't too bad this year. Anyway, the sledding is amazing and once it warms up, we are able to appreciate the wonderful weather so much more! I spend most of my time in my dorm, hanging out with friends, but we go out on the weekend and nights to parties, concerts, dinners, and speakers. There is certainly plenty to do.

cornell is one of the most beautiful places in the world and there are a million things to do on campus. ithaca is an amazing town with INCREDIBLE food (more restaurants per capita than NYC). the dining halls on campusare amazing. i am in a sorority and its pretty down to earth. people dont realize that i'm smart when they first meet me, so when i tell them that i go to cornell, they are always surprised. i love the reaction. i love spending time in Mann library (CALS library) and running outside. my favorite building is sage chapel. there is a TON of school pride. AEM was just named the fourth undergrad business program in the country. we have one of the best ice hockey, lacrosse, wrestling, and basketball teams in the country. people are always wearing cornell gear. there is a ton of work here. i couldnt imagine going anywhere else.

really large but there are a lot of ways to make it smaller people are impressed when i tell them i go to cornell spend most of my time in the dorms, dining halls, class, out, at the library everyone complains about the weather and having lots of work

I like the size of Cornell, it's big enough to not get bored, but small enough to not feel like you don't matter. People usually are impressed or intimidated when I saw I go to Cornell. I'm in a sorority and I like it, but sometimes I think that Greek Life is stressed too much.

Cornell is really big, which is great, and really well known, you get a lot of respect if you go here
