<p>Okay, so i noticed that there is a thread called "what do you love about cornell?" (link: <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/cornell-university/439289-what-do-you-love-about-cornell-3.html%5B/url%5D">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/cornell-university/439289-what-do-you-love-about-cornell-3.html</a>) and i think a more interesting question would be what do you * hate * about cornell, since this question will strip the bias. Lets hear it :)</p>
<p>After thinking long and hard, here are my top 3 (in no particular order):</p>
<ol>
<li><p>The fact we get charged $5 each time we get locked out. Freshman year, I had 3 roommates and we were always locking each other out.</p></li>
<li><p>The suckiness of the hockey team the past two years and the heartbreaking manner in which the team lost in the tourney the two years before that. I spent 5 hours at Benchwarmers (getting drunker and drunker) watching the Cornell-Wisconsin triple overtime game three years ago. Saw David McKee make 59 straight saves to preserve a shutout into the third overtime only to see Cornell lose 1-0. </p></li>
<li><p>The publication of the median grade reports. Terrible idea.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Honorable mention: the weather. I sometimes wish it were warmer as a Californian but I sometimes like the fact there are actual seasons.</p>
<p>tooooo expensive</p>
<ol>
<li><p>There's a charge for everything. I even remember a while ago there was a charge to process the charge for something else. </p></li>
<li><p>The crappiness of the Cornell Daily Sun. Worst college paper ever.</p></li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li><p>The cost of rent in Collegetown</p></li>
<li><p>We don't get any holidays off (except christmas)</p></li>
<li><p>It could be repeat of the blizzard of '96 and Cornell won't close down</p></li>
</ol>
<p>haha the daily sun does suck.</p>
<ol>
<li>On bad days I really wish I went to an easier school. </li>
<li>Expensive.</li>
<li>Long winters. They're fine, but it gets old after winter break.</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li>staying awake for days at a time</li>
<li>too much precipitation for my liking</li>
<li>campus really hilly (but then again, all of the walking keeps you exercising...meaning that you dont gain the freshman 15!)</li>
<li>no holidays off really sucks. sometimes you just need a break</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li>everything</li>
</ol>
<p>Hmmm.... Mr. Gnu.</p>
<p>what do you mean no holidays off?!?!? are upenn and amherst like that too?!?</p>
<p>We don't get Labor Day, Columbus Day, President's Day, any Jewish holidays (like some schools) or Martin Luther King Jr. Day. I don't know UPenn and Amherst policies so I can't speak for them.</p>
<p>the internet policy. I usually end up racking up over 20 bucks a month. :(</p>
<p>what is the internet policy?</p>
<p>Most of the private schools I can think of don't get those holidays off.</p>
<p>I think it's 5MB of download after that you get charged for every MB.</p>
<ol>
<li>Too bureaucratic. Everytime I need something done I have to run to 10 different offices.</li>
</ol>
<p>GB not MB.</p>
<p>I dislike some of the people who complain about certain things about Cornell. Walking? Weather? You know what you were getting into before you even applied.</p>
<p>My number one pet peeve about Cornell is the number of people (maybe 10-15% of the student population) who complain about how they got rejected from their first-choice school. I got rejected from Princeton too, buddy. Deal with it. No reason to dwell on the fact.</p>
<p>The policy next year is even worse. Even though they upped it to 10GB, they're also going to charge for traffic incurred over Red Rover (the wireless internet).</p>
<p>Cornell has to get its finanical aid money from somewhere.</p>
<p>even though i dont go there, i'll add my 2 cents since no one has mentioned this :)</p>
<p>I hate that you gotta pay for TV cable even though its free at other schools!</p>
<p>there are schools with free cable TV?! alright now im mad...</p>
