<p>Hey.. a question for the current Cornellians: Are the girls really ugly there as I've heard? What about the guys?</p>
<p>this topic has been exhausted...There are more ugly people than you'd find at..say...a state school. The girls are, on the whole, uglier than the guys. Good looking people aren't that hard to come by, though, depending on which parties you're at. I'm a girl, I don't find myself to be unattractive, and I've had no problem meeting attractive guys. My suggestion is to just be realistic with both your standards and your expectations.</p>
<p>i got in ED but a lot of my sister's friends attended Cornell so i know about it. im a girl and i know there are A LOT of hot guys haha and there are a lot of girls that i think i would definitely be friends who are cute, normal, etc. so dont worry!</p>
<p>and there are sororities and frats where there are usually good looking ppl</p>
<p>why are there so many ugly people</p>
<p>thats not true!</p>
<p>For the record book, I'm a fairly good looking engineering nerd who can hold a conversation. What's with all these stereotypes?</p>
<p>haha very funny, sry for the stereotypes</p>
<p>The "girl crisis" you hear about is just like the "suicide crisis" and the "academic pressure" crisis at cornell.</p>
<p>Cornell is a lot of work, especially in later years, but it's not impossible.
People in Ithaca sometimes commit suicide, often by jumping into the gorges, but most of them aren't Cornell students (cornell students who die in the gorges are usually accidental deaths, and cornell's sucide rate is below the national average for college students.)</p>
<p>You hear about these things as huge problems because they are small issues. Everyone talks about them, so they seem like big issues.</p>
<p>The girls at cornell are alright. They're not the hottest, but there are so many that if you're not counting the number of hots to nots, it feels like there are plenty of attractive girls. The thing is, that there are. Especially the ones who go out and party. So overall, i would say cornell girls are under-average for attractiveness, but there are so many that there are still a lot of hotties. Don't worry, cornell is fine with girls; it's just, like spanks said, not as "gifted" as a state school in florida.</p>
<p>aright well.. I'm a girl.. so I dont mind if the girls are ugly. I just want to find normal girlfriends who arent really geeky and who like to party. And I want a hot guy :)</p>
<p>there are many normal, cool, fun girls to be your friends. Don't worry about the super geeky people--they're a. fun to be around, cause they're cool too, just probably not as fun to party with, and b. the super ultra geeky people hide in their rooms and study all the time. Cornell is a normal place...it's just filled with smart people.</p>
<p>Soo is it gonna be easy to make a group of normal girlfriends or does it take time? im nervous already!</p>
<p>My friends are awesome and we thoroughly enjoy partying. Don't worry, there are plenty of "normal" smart people, more than I expected. "Geeky" people are fun too... The time I got into a drinking contest with an engineering kid was slightly disasterous, though (sorry to contribute to the stereotype). He was stumbling at like a 45 degree angle, which was impressive, and he fell down a flight of stairs and left a nice hole in the wall later that night, after the rest of us had gone out. You'll find a hot guy; you'll find plenty of hot guys, don't worry about it.</p>
<p>Haha. Cool. I have one more question. How hard is it to transfer to a different college at Cornell and when are you able to?</p>
<p>Well...I'm going to be doing that next semester or year, hopefully, so I'll be able to let you know about it soon. I know it's really easy to do, and that there's a 95% success rate with internal transfer attempts. You can do it the second semester of your freshman year if you want, I believe. I'll get back to you after I talk to my advisor.</p>
<p>litagee87, we sound really similar so we'll have to meet up when we get to cornell!! I'm totally normal girl who likes to party but smart too etc and i like hot guys. haha so i bet we'll be friends!! whats your screenname</p>
<p>Oh yea, with regard to this thread, don't write people off if they're not necessarily the kind you think you'd hang out with, you'll miss out on some awesome friends. Open-mindedness is good, too...as are partying and normalcy ;).</p>
<p>yeah. I'm friends with tons of people who I don't party with. Just because the frat scene isn't for them doesn't make them losers. I know a lot of cool kids who like to chill in the dorm, play poker, drink sometimes, and only go out to parties rarely, or never</p>
<p>It's not hard to find/make the friends you want. They will emerge and self select over the first few weeks.</p>
<p>yayy. My screen name is Litagee</p>
<p>of course... I wouldnt ever write people off like that. Hehe I'm just being weird and paranoid b/c I have nothing in common with the girls that got into or want to go to Cornell from my school :/</p>
