[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The opinions about the Cornell "experience" primarily depend on the major/school and, secondarily, how outdoorsy the kid is. My outdoorsy kid majoring in Psychoiogy absolutely loved Cornell. Played on club sports team, greek life, campus job, took 5 Physical Education classes (sailing, skiing, golf, mountain biking, ice climbing) when only 2 were required, etc. Graduated with very good grades. My STEM kid there found it to be a grind -- requiring tremendous about of lab and study time in order to earn decent grades for medical school applications. As others have said, I highly recommend spending at least one undergraduate summer on campus taking advantage of the lake, hiking, wineries, golf, easy parking, etc. [/quote] Definitely! The Ithaca summer is glorious. Cayuga Lake, Taughannock and Buttermilk Falls, and just the campus itself are beautiful during the warmer months. It does get hot and humid, but not unbearably so - certainly worlds better than DMV area during the summer. I worked on campus several summers and had a great time. A lot of students stay on campus to either work, take classes, or both... so chances are at least some friends would be sticking around for the summer. The only tricky part was finding a place to live because at the time, the dorms weren't open for living space; I ended up subletting from a friend who lived off campus and went home for the summer, which worked out well. [/quote] +1 Summers are amazing! [/quote]
