[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cornell is made up of "Colleges", so for example, the College of Engineering  and the College of Arts and Sciences are private, but the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences is public.

You can take classes at the other colleges, but to transfer from a major in one college to a major in another college is a bit of a process.  So if you struggle in Engineering, [b]it's not so easy to transfer to a different major in arts and Sciences[/b].[/quote]

I know so many people that transferred out of engineering to other colleges and it was really no big deal.  All of them got into the programs they wanted to get into and while they were waiting on the official approval, they were still able to enroll in classes in their desired program so they wouldn't be behind.  Transferring really isn't hard unless you're trying to get INTO, not out of, engineering.  ll the other colleges love the engineering "cast offs" since they tend to do really well in the other programs.[/quote]

Things may have changed since I was there then.  My friends who wanted to transfer out were struggling and had issues with getting into the other school because their grades were so poor.  But they may have gotten more lenient about it in recent years. [/quote]
