Cornell vs. Georgetown

<p>I'll actually matriculating as a sophomore transfer next fall, but I am having a difficult time choosing between these two.</p>

<p>Background: White Male from NY, Jewish, currently a freshman at Trinity College (CT)</p>

<p>To remain brief, I am very interested in the social sciences, particularly sociology and economics. As such, I have been accepted to both Cornell ILR and Georgetown's McDonough School of Business, as either an ILR or Management degree will provide me a fusion of these concentrations. Beyond academics, the rural vs urban factor is not crucial, but I understand that Georgetown would be significantly more expensive, both in tuition and in the cost of living.</p>

<p>Other factors: </p>

<ul>
<li>I am a huge hockey fan</li>
<li>Do not wish to experience the apathy and homogeneity I faced this year at Trinity. </li>
</ul>

<p>I am leaning towards Cornell, but any insight would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>My instincts would have me lean strongly towards GTown if it was FAS or SFS, but McDonough doesn't have a very good reputation. If you don't care about the urban v. rural thing then maybe Cornell is a better choice. Although I understand hockey is pretty big in D.C., so that would be a reason to go to GTown.</p>

<p>Oh, and if you don't want homogeneity, don't go to a top school. ;)</p>

<p>if youre a huge hockey fan, no question you have to go to Cornell...hockey fans up there are crazy and the team is usually very good, though this year was a down year they will be back. I believe Cornell is also more diverse</p>

<p>I would personally like Cornell better and it sounds like Cornell would be a better fit for you as well.</p>

<p>Georgetown has more in common with Trinity than Cornell does. Since you didn't like Trinity, I'd say Cornell is a better fit for you.</p>

<p>Man it seems like alot of schools are getting compared against GTown lately.</p>
