<p>I asked my son if he thought Cornell was depressing. He said that because it’s really cold, really gray, and there’s not much sunlight for the winter, a lot of people throw around the phrase, “it’s so depressing here”. He has a double major in the engineering school and is swamped with a crazy amount of work, as are most Cornell undergraduates. He said that can seem overwhelming at times…just some thoughts you should have before you make a final decision.</p>
