Before I say anything else: Cornell College is not in Ithaca, NY. It is in Iowa. Cornell College was around before Cornell University, but it is not THE Cornell.
Cornell College is not for everyone. One-Course-at-a-Time can be intense, but it also gives you an opportunity to learn a lot. If you love learning, you will probably love OCAAT.
The food sucks. But contrary to other reviews the social scene does not. This is not a party school, but who said that means we don't have fun? The school really tries hard to give us things to do. There are a lot of clubs, too. Cedar Rapids is a lot of fun and only 30 minutes away. I think Mt. Vernon is pretty charming on its own, though.
The faculty are ultra-attentive. They will pay so much attention to you. (Before I forget, the campus is pretty by midwestern standards. Lots of tall grass and brick.) Remember that there are less than 1100 students. The student body is tiny! Everybody knows everybody. It's sort of like high school 2.0 in that way, except not as clique-y. There are cliques though - don't be fooled by the promotional stuff. Overall, Cornell is a place for people who want to learn a lot and have some good clean fun with good-hearted people. The people can be close-minded, but they do so without realizing it. 8.7 out of 10. | Faculty Accessibility: A, Scholastic Success: 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: - |  | | |

| Quite Bright | Cornell was a bit different in the sixties than its present course today, but it was a wonderful place for a young man to grow up. I learned to wrfte and think there, but also became very interested in cultural activities and the outside world. When I visit Cornell, the memories are powerful. I realize many schools and the people met there "stick deeply" into a person's thoughts, but Cornell inspires a kind of nostalgia that is more than unique. It is a beautiful campus and the quality education there has been preserved as the school has experimented with nontraditional scheduling. I would recommend this school for anyone who wishes to learn more than what even a career offers. | Starting Job: TEACHER, Preparedness: A, Reputation: B+ |  | |
