<p>Is the double major in Information Science & AEM popular? I just mapped out a schedule though, and it leaves like no room for electives, and that's including AP credits. </p>
<p>Also, AEM 101 is required of and limited to freshman in AEM. So if you plan to double major in AEM and apply so you would join sophomore year, would you take that class?</p>
<p>i heard some bad comments about Computer Science 101. what's so bad about it?</p>
<p>What exactly is DC++? Is it available to all students? Does it cost $$? Is it legal ;) ?</p>
<p>DC++ is a program used by most cornell students living on campus. basically it's a hub that connects all people using Cornell internet. you can download a song in about 10seconds, a tv show in 8-10minutes, and a movie in about 10-15minutes. TV shows are usually updated once a week and the movies on DC++ are fairly new. in theory it is illegal but there is no way to really trace it so I wouldn't worry. most cornell students use it.</p>
<p>What are the major pros and cons of Cornell?</p>
<p>There are too many pros and cons for Cornell to relist them all here again. If you browse through the Cornell forum there are plenty of threads that deal with this question.</p>
<p>Okay. One more ?. Do you have to declare a general major or field of study when you apply?</p>
<p>Anyway, here are my main pros and cons.</p>
<p>Pros
beeeeeeautiful campus
great quality of education, no doubt
hugeeee
double major available (considering)
all kinds of housing (women, wellness, apartment)</p>
<p>Cons:
EXPENSIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!
very cold
huge (can be a pro or con)
a little away from it all</p>
<p>are there any math classes you HAVE to take (especially for hotel school). for example, if i didnt' take AP Calc in high school, woudl i HAVE to take it? Thanks!</p>
<p>I don't think any math classes are required for hotelies. Well, frankly I don't think hotelies have to take any hard science courses at all if they don't want to.</p>
<p>You don't have to declare any major if you apply to the CAS. Mainly if you apply to Cornell you have to just decide which one of the 7 schools within Cornell you want to apply to.</p>
<p>peachpuff, I've found the hugeness to be much more of a pro than a con, since the vast majority of classes are small. Also, a good friend of mine (already graduated from college, went to a small school) said it best when she said, "Small schools are much easier to adapt to than larger schools. I think many more students are initially depressed/lost at larger schools than smaller schools. However, by your 3rd year at a small school you'll be saying, 'Get me the hell out of here!' out of sheer boredom and frustration with the small community, while a larger school will keep you interested because there's just so much stuff going on." </p>
<p>I think she's right. My friends at Williams, Amherst, and St. Lawrence have ALL attested to this; they loved it at first but all got unbearably bored and restless after 2 years. On the other hand, Cornell WAS hard to adapt to for me; I was very unsure and pretty depressed my first semester and even, to some extent, for my entire first year, but I love it more and more as time passes. Despite the small town, you don't get bored with this place. It's just too big and too dynamic.</p>
