ILR vs. UChicago

Colleges and Universities A-Z Cornell University

<p>Sadly I will not have a chance to visit Cornell, so I look for insight from forum users....</p>

<p>I understand the curriculum for each school and what not, but I'm looking to see what each has to offer in terms of fit, which I will determine based on what information I can collect before Cornell's deposit deadline.</p>

<p>Also, what opportunities each school presents is a key component. I assume schools of UChicago and Cornell's caliber are on the same level, with only minute difference that have to do with personal preference.</p>

<p>But, things I am looking for are:
Workload
Enjoyment/Social life (I don't go to parties and do not drink)
Student/Professor Relationships
How much you actually learn...
The campus/community etc</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>thanks i read that thread b4 but a good reminder nonetheless.</p>

<p>Apparently ILR is a very specific n somewhat different part of Cornell's campus according to Ian..the admissions guy. So I did not forgo the search function!</p>

<p>ILR is located smack dab in the middle of campus. Look for Ives hall on a campus map.</p>

<p>Since you don't drink, I'll mention that U Chicago has one of the lowest binge drinking rates around, about 30%. Though plenty of drinking goes on, it's a great environment for nondrinkers. I don't have the figure for Cornell.</p>

<p>go to U Chicago.</p>

<p>What do you want to major in at uchicago</p>

8

<p>Mathematics with a specialization in Econ...basically the econ major with 2 less electives n 5 more math classes</p>

<p>and I'm a transfer, so I've definitely explored my options and I really love math, I really love Econ, and I really love sociology-ish subjects. Therefore I end up between ILR (minus the math) and UChicago (the core would satisfy that sociology-ish mindset)....</p>

<p>wow Uchicago sounds near perfect for you go for it.</p>

<p>Uchicago all the way for econ. Its the best hands down. You can go far with that degree</p>
