[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi,
We are from the South and contemplating visiting Cornell--I just watched a YouTube video and the campus felt like a pretty NE Suburb? Big, far flung, not cohesive. I know online can be deceiving but just wanted to get feedback from folks who have visited. It will be a expensive trip and not an easy one so thinking it through. Thank you!

Alum and parent here, and my spouse was a faculty brat so Cornell is like a second home for us. Campus for the most part is actually pretty compact. Some of the Ag school buildings are far out on Tower Road, but even the core Ag quad is not far. The Arts & Sciences quad is beautiful and it is kind of the center of the academic campus, and the AAP college is right there also. Engineering, Hotel, ILR and HumEc are also close by. It is easy to meet your friends for lunch regardless of what school they might be in. The main undergraduate library is right off the Arts quad, by the bell tower. And then the student union (Willard Straight Hall) is a 1 minute walk from the bell tower, across from the campus store.

If you are able and depending when you visit, try to stay a night on campus at the Statler. Also, as to the "parking on campus is never free" poster, on the weekend you can often park behind the Arts quad (at the top of Libe Slope) for free when the gates are up. The art museum is also on that road and was designed by I.M. Pei.

I had several friends from the South when I went to Cornell, who loved it. Good luck! Feel free to ask specific questions if you want. [/quote]
