<p>for me it was because it's huge, has the weakest student body, is in the middle of nowhere in a place that reportedly gets little sunlight, does not have as strong a reputation as even many of its non-ivy counterparts, and to be honest i don't even like the name</p>

<p>Negatives about cornell: Weakest undergrad resources (poorest per student), least spending per undergrad amongst Ivies (COHE), largest school, least selective, worst placement into business and grad schools. But most of all it just didn't feel "special" the way many of the other Ivies did, but rather if felt more like a large research university.</p>
