[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's nothing to do in Ithaca but hiking and drugs. Cornell is for people who are insecure and desperate for ivy validation. Unless you go to the public school part of Cornell, you could get into better/warmer options in bigger cities. [/quote]

lol. I wish the people who post this stuff would say where they went to school!! Insecure much?[/quote]

Agree.  In my opinion, PP could not be more wrong.  I attended Cornell and was blissfully happy in Ithaca and at Cornell.  Loved the vibe of the town, loved the intellectual challenge and range of classes, loved the socializing, loved living four years in an extremely beautiful setting.  I felt so fortunate to spend time there.  This was decades ago, but my recollection was that the winters were not so terrible and in fact I recall loving living somewhere that had four true seasons.  And the gorgeous and waterfalls were so pretty in the snowy months.  I had grown up in NYC and had no desire to be attending college in a bigger city - Ithaca felt like a great change from being in a major city and for my college years it felt just right.   Great food, plenty to explore in the local area.  And being in a town with a massive student presence is just fun -- I felt like I lived in a city made up of students.  I went to Yale for graduate school.   Also a great school experience but I vastly preferred my years in Ithaca to the time in New Haven.  [/quote]

Like you could have gotten in to Yale and would have passed it up...riiiiight.

Place is overrated. Period.[/quote]
