Quite Bright
Cornell College is a campus for people who are genuinely interested in scholarly pursuits. It's not a "degree-mill" or for people are just interested in getting and education "because they have to." If you come to Cornell, come here with an goal in mind. Cornell's OCAAT system is great training for law school, or other challenging pursuits. You'll learn how to work hard here, if that's not your cup of tea and want an easier life in college, go somewhere else.

This is a college for people who have a special commitment to learning and challenging themselves. I'm not saying it's bad if you don't have those qualities, I'm just saying, if you don't, this is not the college for you.
Faculty Accessibility: A+, Surrounding City: C

Not so bright
Cornell will give you a solid education if you are smart about choosing teachers. in an attempt to cut costs (something that the college focuses on above and beyond the usual university), there are a lot of under qualified temps that teach various subjects. the college rarely wants to give full salary to a good professor, so they hire people for one block at a very low price.
As for the social life, the college smothers it. They treat students like 5 year old children. the resident life staff is more interested in punishment and fines than safety. the surrounding town is no better. the police force is one of the best funded in the state (despite the town having a population of 1,500) because they arrest a student for (literally) anything illegal that is done. I friend of mine was arrested under paraphernalia charges because he had a lighter and was speeding (he smokes cigarettes).
Oh, and the food is terrible. If you attend this college, you will spend at least 500-1000 dollars extra just to eat off campus because of the atrocities that they attempt to feed you.
Given the chance, i would leave this institution in a flash. However, they have managed to attract people that i like and until they all leave, i will stay here.
