<p>I visited them both, love them both, and I am torn.
I wanted to know peoples opinions on campus, location, course load, social life, food etc.
Thanks</p>

<p>You can get a plethora of similar threads through a simple google search of CC. A lot of them are specific to intended majors. I picked Penn as my first choice this year because I felt it had more to offer than Cornell in several respects. This comes naturally when your campus is situated in one of the nation's largest and most historic cities. It was a no-brainer for me, though, since I knew I wanted to do business.</p>
<p>It would hinge in no small part on what you plan on doing in college.</p>
<p>But I of course would say Penn regardless ;)</p>
<p>And so would the majority of cross-admits who, when given a choice between Penn and Cornell, choose Penn</p>
