The word from: the Students

Cornell University is a large diverse university with a wide array of majors from where to choose from. All its programs are well planned and resources will never be amiss. Standing out in numerous fields with their majors it is still possible to design our very own. Opportunities in Cornell are plenty. It's not easy studying at Cornell, it's an university meant for people with a strong sense of what they want, courses are quite intense from the very start. It's said to be the easiest from the Ivy Leaguers to get into but the hardest to get out of.
easiest to get into in the Ivy league but hardest to get out of.
Helping students on their work and academic path is something that is done a lot at Cornell, offering resources so that everyone gets a very deserving grade for their effort. Professors are very helpful and will gladly support whoever needs them and have great availability. Administration wise the university does a great job to keep it running without problems and make themselves easy to reach. Job finding is easy thanks to the effort put into building a good alumni network and the career services office.

The remote location of the campus provides opportunity to practice a lot of out door activities, the great majority involving nature so there's everything for everyone. Downside of it is that urban diversion is very limited. Students however get around that problem by staying on campus and work on their academics. During the weekend at least, people can forget school work and have fun going to bars in collegetown and house parties, attend concerts, activities and other initiatives all in campus led by students. Many of them participate in sports teams and activities inside the grounds. But some times not even all these activities can avoid the boredom of the lack of a big city around.

The diversity present at Cornell is not only ethnic or racial but rather because of the existence of so many courses there's bound to exist personality and interests that greatly vary, every day a huge variety of people sit down for lunch at the same place. Being half private and half public makes it so that the economic background differs from person to person.
