<p>Assuming that money isn't a problem. Can someone help me analyze the pros and cons of going to AEM and BHP and the student life of Cornell and UT? I'm really frustrated.</p>
<p>well I really can’t offer any help, but I just think it was really ironic that just a few days ago you were SO SET and trying to convince me of UT, and now you’re in the agony of decision. the tables have turned!</p>
<p>hmm but really… which atmosphere would you prefer? city life of austin vs. campus bubble / pretty scenery in ithaca? Are you planning on getting a job after undergrad? Do you know if you want to work in TX / in the north?</p>
<p>UZZhan, I have two nieces who went to Cornell (but for engineering), one has graduated, one is a senior now. They both loved the social atmosphere, with each finding their own niche. One was involved in greek life, which is a big deal there, the other has been involved in theater and acting, which is a tight knit group. The oldest is now living in Bethesda doing government contract work, and the 2nd is planning on staying in Ithica to work for Cornell. So, chances are, if you leave Texas and go up there, you might end up staying in the great white north!</p>
<p>The major con that I heard about ceaselessly, is the COLD weather in the winter! The fall and spring are beyond lovely, but the winter is so cold that it can be pretty unbearable if you are a Texan! The joke is that they make the winter break long, so that people will forget how miserable they were and decide to come back!!</p>
<p>Being from Plano, you know what you’re going to get at UT - and that may be a reason you want Cornell - for something different. But, if you got in the BHP, you are one of a lucky few, and you won’t get a better business degree from Cornell with any better opportunities.</p>
<p>Good luck making your choice - either one is fantastic!</p>
<p>I looked at Cornell, but didn’t apply because it is so isolated, cold and depressing. I want to have an internship while I’m in school, and at UT that’s just a few blocks away, while at Cornell it’s just a few… hours. The social atmosphere at Cornell seems childishly hippie-like and it pushes me away. People say Cornell is a school that teaches you how to think, but for those of us who already know how to think and want to be able to think for ourselves, I think UT is a much better choice. Also, Cornell has a high suicide rate, and I can understand why. Besides, if you go to McCombs we can hang out in the busiest Wendie’s in the world. :P</p>
