[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks to all who responded. Your comments have been very helpful. How do people think a nerdy kid would do at Cornell? Is there enough of a nerdy vibe that she could find her people?  She was chosen as part of a very small  group of students for an elite program that confers special opportunities all 4 years. She is leaning Cornell (and yes, it will ultimately be her choice) but I think the social culture at Chicago sounds like a better fit. The programs for her intended area of study are comparable at both schools. Can anyone weigh in? Thank you! [/quote]

Well, your first question was which was nerdier overall, and I think Chicago wins hands down. But there are plenty of nerdy people at Cornell, and a nerdy kid will do fine there. And being able to participate in an honors or elite program within a larger university can mean unique and special opportunities, including close contacts with professors and other similar students that can be invaluable and that sometimes are difficult for other students at large institutions to tap into. I might weight that program pretty heavily in my decision-making.[/quote]
