<p>"Cornell has good biological sciences, but most of it is located 300 miles away from the main campus, at the medical campus in New York City. Which means undergraduates have absolutely no access to it."</p>
<p>I doubt that this statement is correct. I mean the "most of it" part.</p>
<p>On the main campus is:
-The College of Arts & Sciences, with its biology faculty
- The College of Agriculture, with its faculty
- The College of Veterinary Medicine, with its faculty
Additionally, the private Boyce- Thompson Institute for Plant Research relocated to Ithaca years ago; there are probably others as well.</p>
<p>In any event, most colleges in this country do not have a medical school co-located on their campus. And of the ones that do, I wonder how many provide meaningful research opportunities to undergraduate students who are not students in the medical school.</p>
