<p>Hello!</p>
<p>I've just been accepted to Cornell as a transfer (yay!). Now I'm trying to make the final decision on whether or not I'm going to attend. I'm still waiting on a couple schools, but I'm very excited about Cornell. I was never actually able to visit campus unfortunately, so I can't say for myself what the atmosphere is like. </p>
<p>I've read a million different things with two disparate responses to Cornell--that it's science geared, but none of the classes are very fulfilling or intimate, the people are high stress and super partiers/fratty (I'm not into that.) that aren't very curious people, and that the weather is beyond miserable. On the other hand, I've heard that the people are more normal maybe than some of the other ivies and obviously bright, the creative writing is good (I'm English/writing, but thinking about business), and that there is actually a lot to do in Ithaca. </p>
<p>Questions: What is the social scene like overwhelmingly? (I know everyone says "you can find your people," but I heard that about my current school and struggled.) Is the weather really that miserable? (I like snow, but I didn't grow up in the very North.) Are the classes small/enlightening enough? What about majors other than engineering?</p>
<p>Thanks so much!</p>
