[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to Cornell, and [b]in some ways it wasn't the right fit[/b]. But 1. it's an excellent school. I had great advisors, and by senior year was able to take some small graduate seminars in my field. 
 
      Also, the location is beautiful. It was so nice that when I took a year off in the middle of my time there, I stayed there and worked at a restaurant. I also stayed once for a summer, which was wonderful. Went on long bike rides and swam in lakes, quarries and ponds. The weather never once bothered me. Winters are cold, but you're a college student. You walk to classes and back. Snow is beautiful. We'd go sledding on Libe slope on dining trays. One year I lived on the other side of what they call the plantations (they have an ag school. I think it's since been renamed botanic garden or something?) and walked 45 minutes to class each day. Never remember it being too cold for that. Another interesting thing about Cornell is that they allow dogs on campus, or did then. I don't know if it's true, but was told that it was a donor stipulation. In any case, dogs ran free on the quad, and sometimes came to class. [/quote]

Would you be willing to share more about that?  I know it's subjective, but sometimes the specifics of a person's experience or an alum's characterization can offer a helpful lens.  (We're super familiar with the area, by the way.  It's gorgeous!)[/quote]
