[quote=Anonymous]Cornell:Michigan:Pitt

Commitment to excellence in the humanities as well as engineering and STEM.

Early commitment to education of women and minorities.  Looked down upon by snobs for this.

Accepting of international students and deep roots for various study abroad and scholarship initiatives.

Admin, faculty, and grad student ties between the schools (mainly Cornell:Michigan and Pitt:Michigan).

Large differences in scale and urban/rural campus location but unsnobbish commitment to academic excellence for top students at all 3.

There is fun Greek life available for those who want it but it's not necessary if you have no interest.

Michigan and Pitt have lively football and cheerleader type activities, although Pitt is much less rah rah.  I can't speak to the vibe of Cornell football.

Weather is similar for those who complain about weather (rain, snow).

I attended Pitt and Michigan.  Was accepted to Cornell for grad school but chose Michigan.  Cornell is a legacy school in my family which is why I have a lot of familiarity with the vibe.  I've been to the campus many times.
