<p>i'm trying to decide btwn vassar and cornell. comments?</p>
<p>Hello! I had to make this choice actually. I would think that it’s super easy to decide, especially if you can visit the campuses. The number of undergraduates is hugely different between the two schools, and that influences a ton of things. Personally, I decided that I wanted the personal attention that going to a liberal arts college would get me. Also, open curriculum vs. distribution requirements was also a factor for me.</p>
<p>It seems like this choice should be pretty easy since they offer completely different environments. Both are great schools, but the “best school” completely depends on what you would prefer.</p>
<p>Vassar has smaller class sizes, a more intimate intellectual community, smaller student body, artsy environment, and more of an undergraduate focus.
Cornell has a broader course selection, greater number of on-campus activities, more diversity, larger student body, and more resources.</p>
<p>I agree with EliteUHopeful: a campus visit should make the choice much easier.</p>
