Anyone in Cornell for Linguistics or Languages?

<p>Just wondering if there was anyone here that has experience with Cornell's Linguistics department. I am actually looking at them for Grad school and its one of my top choices. Anyone have experience with faculty? Also interested in foreign languages so anyone who has taken foreign language courses (particularly French and Italian) your input is appreciated! </p>

<p>BTW: I posted the same q in the Penn forum because I am looking at both schools. :)</p>
