<p>"Don't dismiss the Hotel School....The food at Cornell is the best because of them."</p>
<p>Is that why? Not sure about that... although head of food services was an alum when I was there, I think. I know the ice cream is because of the dairy run by the Ag school.</p>
<p>When I was there, people were crowing about the great food services, but of course I had nothing to compare it to.</p>
<p>Some years ago now I did a Cornell Alumni U program (which was fantastic by the way). We stayed on North campus, and ate at the dining hall. The food was exactly the same as it used to be, I recalled. And, at that stage of my life, I thought it was absolute garbage. Couldn't believe I used to eat that stuff. We went out for meals most of the time after a few days of it.</p>
<p>As for how it compares now to other schools, I have no idea.</p>
<p>hotelies must have the ability to take a few jabs every now and them - but it's all in good fun. Most students are jealous at the cool classes they can take, one of my friends even got credit in a class for learning how to fold bed sheets in a variety of ways. Nobody, though, denies the fact that hotelies are hooked up with some very sweet jobs in the end. </p>

<p>I have an idea!!! A few years ago Cornell really overhauled the dining services, and each operates independently under the main umbrella that is Cornell dining. Note the "Cornell dining" fact - all of the SUNY schools are supplied by the same company that also supplies the New York State correctional facilities. Compared to the food at Syracuse University, Cornell is worlds better. Students should realize how lucky they are that the food has color, doesn't stink, and most importantly doesn't make you stink! At SU, the food was mostly of grey color, pre-made sandwiches were always wet for some reason, and the meat was barely fit for a prison system (though I'd bet SU used the same company for food as the SUNY's). Also, Cornell has tremendous variety that few schools I've been to have. My friends at SUNY schools would always complain about how everybody always had gas and that everybody always smelled the same when the passed some of that gas (gross and inappropriate, i know, but i did laught when I heard this). Cornell doesn't mix laxatives into their gravies like most schools do - their food is healthy and safe enough that it doesn't need to pass as quick. </p>
<p>i know all the SUNY funding schools in Cornell are not actually SUNY schools, but if you are applying SUNY schools early dicision they dont allow you to do EOP at the same time, and in this case, applying to a SUNY funding school in Cornell....will they let you do EOP along with early decision..???
this question stuck in my head for like ages ago...and admission ppl in the ILR school can't even answer me.....</p>
<p>and by the way i know ppl always say the SUNY schools are not under SUNY system, but outsider view it as a SUNY school....they will be like Oh! you are applying to SUNY then......
it's hard to change ones mind man...</p>
<p>If you want to say that CALS is a part of SUNY, go ahead and say it. That's not going to change the fact that it's one of the best Ag schools in the world, and (according to one ranking) the #2 ag school in the world in research. SUNY or not, it's definitely not the "black sheep" of Cornell.</p>
<p>And to whomever it was that said there's a "standing joke on campus" that CALS and HumEc should form "SUNY Ithaca"...I've been here two years and haven't ever heard that. <em>shrug</em></p>
