What is 'life at Cornell University'?

I soon plan to commit to Cornell, my dream school. I’ve been researching many aspects about Cornell, including its social life, by looking through this site, Cornell’s website and several virtual tours. Because I am an international student and cannot visit, I would appreciate it if anyone could inform me in better detail how life is there; the general type of people, dorm life, the party scene, daily life, atmosphere, difficulty of classes, the job connections, etc.
I would really appreciate if anyone could help, thanks!

Bump…

Congrats on getting in!! I thought I recognized your username and remembered that I commented on your chance thread awhile ago. Way to prove the naysayers wrong :)>-

I think having one thread about this topic should suffice, though. Hope you get your questions answered!
