<p>Beautiful girls.</p>
<p>Cornell: strong in sciences, engineering, architecture, hotel (lol)
scenic + rural
staff quality
friendly atmosphere
food!
quality of students + work ethics
research
socioeconomic diversity of students
availability of choices
undecided paradise
cons:
location
sometimes snubbed for contract colleges but it really doesn’t matter since unqualified people who get in eventually bump the curve for qualified people in the college and for other cornell students
alchohol (can be + for some)
work load</p>
<p>and from what I here, some real good professors</p>
<p>and the best food</p>
<p>The contract colleges are not a con.</p>
<p>Cornell academics is no less than Penn’s. Even better, in my opinion, for sciences and engineering.
how is its reputation rapidly declining?
Edit: oh nvm just read ur posts. just a ■■■■■. Unless you are three people at the same time.</p>
<p>btw i did not mean that the contract colleges themselves are cons. It just gets snubbed on cc because people have been referring it as “the backdoor way in”, and as a result some people think that way. There are some very brilliant people in there and some that i think are not qualified anywhere else.</p>
<p>I absolutely agree with Josh’s depiction of Brown!!</p>
<p>To add:</p>
<p>To Penn and Columbia
(This could be a pro or con depending on your persona): The work hard, party hard big-city atmosphere</p>
<p>To Columbia:
Pro: Engineering and other science related majors</p>
<p>To Cornell:
Pro: Beautiful, beautiful environment (when it’s not a blizzard)
Con: Freezing if there is a blizzard (not too uncommon)</p>
<p>To Dartmouth:
Pro: Great access to outdoor activities (hiking/skiing/etc)</p>
<p>no offense Mr. Joshi2011, but when it comes to test scores, for example ACT, Cornell’s College of Arts & Science is exactly the same 25% - 75% range as Yale and Penn- which is 30 - 34, and which is even higher than your beloved Brown, which is 29-34.
my brother chose Cornell over Brown because of the science research at Cornell and he went on to Yale medical school.<br>
also, you have to admit, that in terms of having the best looking and in shape students and having fun, Cornell by far, is really hard to beat (except for maybe Stanford)
I don’t think anyone argues with that - but you probably will…
Brown is a nice place, but there is not much research opportunities and campus feel. that’s my opinion. Good luck wherever you go, even if you come to Cornell</p>
<p>Mr. Joshi2011 - nothing shallow about good looks, it is probably more important than where you go to college in many cases. If you think it is shallow to think that being good looking is important, then, no offense, you are probably not to handsome (or pretty).
Looks are very, very important.<br>
I say Cornell has the best looking students by far.
P.S. If you like Brown so much, care to tell us why you chose Williams College. I think we are in for an advertisement about why Williams is the best college in the world. Just kidding!! Everyone knows it is one of the best. Enjoy this beautiful weekend.</p>
<p>more pros than cons for cornell</p>
<p>More pros than cons for each of these schools, if you look at it that way (well, at least in my opinion). Academically, Ivies are the most well-known institutions in the world. There’s no denying that they are all excellent schools. </p>
<p>Cons-wise: it pretty much depends on your idea of a good or bad college experience. If cold weather kills you, maybe Ivies aren’t so great in general (seeing as they’re all in the Northeast.) But if you love the cold and you love the middle of nowhere - several of them might be a perfect fit.</p>
<p>I think Cornell’s campus is a big pro.</p>
<p>Best school vs. other schools?
Hmmmmm…
^_^</p>
<p>But, they’re all good! Get into any and your life is set!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Let us hope that Cornell students know the difference between here and hear, there, their and they’re, etc. </p>
<p>Here is hoping that if you are accepted and graduate, you will be more educated than when you came in.</p>

<p>Obviously, nobody who got in Cornell took the SATs and know proper grammar right, and everyone who posts on the forum gets in?<br>
Don’t be so quick to judge. Do you really have to be a grammar nazi on meaningless internet forums like this?</p>

<p>Terrible location? Someday you might miss living in such a vibrant city amidst waterfalls, lakes, and wineries.</p>
<p>Cornell has a fantastic location, a gorgeous campus in what’s oft considered THE best collegetown in America. Cornell sports are actually very good for an Ivy. Currently Cornell has the #1 wrestling team and # 2 women’s hockey teams in the country. Men’s lacrosse has been to 3 Final Fours in the last 4 years. Men’s basketball went to the Sweet 16 last year. Men’s hockey won the ECAC championship last year.</p>
