“Cornell is the kind of place to goQuite BrightEngineering Department
Cornell is the kind of place to go if you want to work your ass off and don't mind having nothing to do but drink on the weekends. It attracts many people like this so be prepared to be around a lot of arrogant, boring people. Sure there are some cool people but if you're an engineer and you're not a complete genius then you will not have time to socialize if you do not join a frat. The weather is horrible and make sure you do not make the mistake of coming here if it even crosses your mind that this will bother you because it is much worse than I could ever have imagined. All in all, the only people who really should consider coming here are people who thoroughly enjoy working all the time and find enough enjoyment and fulfillment in work that they won't mind doing nothing on the weekends quite often (and I do mean nothing).

“When you enter a school like Cornell, youQuite BrightElectrical Engineering
When you enter a school like Cornell, you must have the correct mind-set, otherwise you could have four (or more) miserable years. Realize that you are entering a university, not a college. By that, I mean that you should expect to do work, and if you happen to have free time, then you are allowed to relax. Students here tend to be stressed from the second week of class till the very last day of finals. This is not to say we do not have fun, as Cornell has numerous extra-curricular programs (from a Cigar club, to a caving club, to, well, you name it, its here). The Greek system is also very strong. Its easy to find a party whenever you are in the mood. Lastly, the campus is simply amazing. If you are the outdoors type, you WILL go nuts with the waterfalls, gardens, and random nooks and crannies that only such a large campus can have.
