Academically, this is a school you either really like or dislike. With One-Course-At-A-Time (OCAAT), you don't have to worry about having too many things due on one day, and you are able to focus more easily. However, OCAAT is very rushed, gives you little time to get a feel for the professor's expectations, and if you have an emergency one day, you fall behind drastically in class. This is not a school for someone who comes from a big city, or hopes for a diverse, friendly, open-minded school. The staff, especially the Residence Life and cafeteria staff, protect their own self interests at the sacrifice of the students they serve. The cliques are terrible, and the environment is similar to high school in its childishness. The cafeteria is ranked as the #19 worst cafeteria in a college or university, according to the Princeton Review. There are few restaurants in town, limiting your food options even more. Cedar Rapids and Iowa City, which are each about 25 mins away, have very limited options for night life as well. | Friendliness: A-, Faculty Accessibility: F |  | | |

| Quite Bright | The administration runs the college like a conservative high school: strict and close-minded, not progressive or thoughtful. | Faculty Accessibility: A+, Social Life: C |  | | |

| | My experience at Cornell College was wonderful. The campus is beautiful and I loved all the historic buildings. The students were friendly and bright, and the faculty were always ready to help with a smile. I loved life on the OCAAT calander. I am currently attending graduate school at a larger university and I would absolutely LOVE to go back to Cornell's One-Course-At-A-Time and its professors who actually seem to care about their students. Mt. Vernon is a small town, but if you are creative, you can come up with lots of great things to do. If you are only interested in the party scene, Cornell College and Mt. Vernon are not for you. However, if you are looking for a great, tough, little school where you can be yourself, I would recommend giving Cornell some thought. | Preparedness: -, Reputation: - |  | | |
