Why Cornell CAS???

<p>Hi, I'm an applicant to Cornell CAS, majoring in Biology. </p>

<p>Basically, why choose Cornell's CAS over any other CAS??? any specifics? I have done A LOT of research on their website, etc, but hearing it from an actual student would be great! Thanks.</p>

<p>I’m just a former student, and the dad of a current one.
My answer would be in post #8 here:

<li>I want to go back to the East Coast.</li>
<li>Cornell has one of the best Astronomy programs. Maybe MIT has a better program, but I prefer a slightly more liberal art education. Besides, I want want to major in a social science.</li>
<li>Cornell is ****ing beautiful.</li>
<li>I would take Cornell over even Princeton, because Princeton does not allow double majors.</li>
