I attended New York University my freshman year and then transferred to Cornell, so I think I have a pretty balanced opinion. No question, Cornell is a top-notch institution that I am thrilled that I attended! I studied ILR, and the professors were phenomenal - they got to know you, provided excellent recommendations and leads for jobs, and of course, provided superb instruction. Job prospects were great after graduation: I had four offers ranging from $50-70k starting salary (plus bonuses). The students are great. What's nice about Cornell is that it's set up as smaller colleges within a larger university, so you get a small-school feel with large-school resources and events. This year the Dalai Lama even came to speak!
The biggest concern people have seems to be around location. For example, there are only about five bars in Collegetown, but I'll say that at NYU, my friends and I just went to the same five bars all the time anyway! This goes for other events as well: when you're in college, you don't really have the time to take advantage of the city you're in, so it doesn't matter that much.
I would highly recommend Cornell to anyone, and am staying very active as a recent alumni. The relationships you build there are priceless, and I think it's one of the few schools where every alumni loved it and is happy to help out other alum. |

The students tend to be down to earth, smart, funny, competitve.
The professors are, however, can be real jerks- nasty, hard to
talk to, elusive during office hours. It was a great place to
go, I'm just glad I'm out now! I would choose Cornell again, but
with the understanding that I have to work HARD for everything- you take away only what you grab for yourself. If you are shy,
and I was, it can be more than a little bit difficult |

Cornell is a large university, comprised of several colleges (College of Human Ecology, of Agriculture, Industrial and Labor Relations, Engineering, etc.). Being one of literally thousands you must possess the wherewithal, independence and initiative to navigate through a myriad of educational and experiential opportunities. If you are this type of individual, Cornell could be a rich and stimulating life experience for you. There are a wide range of research and internship opportunities, excellent professors and an amazingly broad course curriculum to choose from.
Tips and advice: assess the kind of learning environment that best suits YOU- do you thrive or flounderin a large community, do you do best in a more intimate setting? Do you enjoy being in or near a big city or away from it all? Are you a self- starter or someone that needs more guidance and direction when it comes to evaluating and planning for your future? Definitely visit the campus and get answers for yourself.
I do recommend Cornell- it's a prestigious university, with an accomplished faculty, vibrant intellectual community, wealth of educational, research and internship opportunities. It also is set in beautiful Ithaca, a traditional idyllic college setting with gorges nearby, lots of green open spaces.
PROS: a WEALTH of opportunities in terms of education, internships, research, access to wonderful professors and a rich course curriculum, vibrant revamped college town including arts center, large fraternity/sorority system, great athletic facility.
CONS: staff(professors, school counselors) do not know you by face- if you don't take initiative in determining what kind of experience you want at Cornell, you will not have a great one. You are just a number.
If I had to do it over again, I would still choose Cornell! |
