Cornell ILR school atmosphere

<p>I was wondering if anybody had any insight into the nature of the students in the ILR school? Is the competition cut throat like a top business program(ex. Wharton) or do the students collaborate and work together more? Is the reading in ILR excessive or manageable? And does ILR host its own special events/networking seminars? Any comments or anecdotes on any of the questions are appreciated. Thanks! </p>

<p>PS. I heard that the ILR and Hotel school are Cornell are the more "social" schools in Cornell.</p>

<p>ILR unofficially stands for I Love Reading. If you have a lot of reading, you get a lot of something else: essays!</p>

<p>IDK much about ILR but it’s smaller than A&S, Engi, or probably CALS, so theres more room for camaraderie between your ILR fellow students. There’s specific ILR colloquia that my roomate’s (ILR) is taking.</p>

<p>My roommate is taking 15 credits, which is average and he has plenty of room for reading, gaming, hanging out, and sleeping. (Not to say he is a slacker)</p>
