<p>I am considering applying to Cornell as a transfer student next year and I was wondering how current students and alumni have felt about their time there. I have a few questions regarding your personal opinions of Cornell. Feel free to answer any or all of the questions, or come up with some other insight regarding Cornell. Thanks!</p>
<p>How good are the classes? How difficult are they? How good are the professors? I have heard that classes in Cornell generally have a lower GPA than the same classes in other Ivy League schools. Is this true? If so are classes, specifically chemistry and biology classes, reasonably manageable?</p>
<p>How is the social life? Is Greek life prominent? Is there a big party scene? How do most students spend their time outside the classroom when not studying? How is the area around Cornell? I heard Ithaca is sort of a dead town, but of course I have no primary source.</p>
<p>Finally, would you recommend going to Cornell? Why or why not? Feel free to list any pros and cons that might stand out.</p>
<p>You might see this same thread in other forums. This is because I am considering a good number of schools.</p>
<p>Thanks for your time.</p>
