Cornell University

I enjoyed my 4 years at Cornell immensely. There was alot of hard work, long hours in the library, loads of problem sets. However, I meet some of the greatest people in the world there. Most of my professors (especially those in the ChemE department) were amazing. By the time I graduated, I felt like both my classmates and facualty were family. It is a big school, but it is easy to see what a small campus it can actually be. There is plenty to do - Greek and non. Skiiing, Sailing, hiking- and there are actual stores in Ithaca now, so the shopping is even decent! The weather can blow, and the roads are full of potholes. This however, was perhaps the biggest complaint I had in my four years there. .

I LOVE Cornell!! It wasn't my first choice when I was applying to colleges, and I definitely didn't think I'd end up here, but now, having completed my freshman year, I found that I love it. I made great, amazing friends, and I made Dean's List for the spring semester!! Cornell's campus is "gorges", and there's so much to do, even though it seems so isolated (Ithaca is 5 hours away from NYC). I think a car is a definite plus, but it's not necessary, because Ithaca has a great bussing system that takes you anywhere you need to go on campus and Ithaca, and they're free at night. CORNELL ROCKS!
