Overall ExperienceWhat's This?

Students express both praise and criticism of their overall experience at Cornell University. Positive experiences seem to outweigh negative ones, with most agreeing that even some of the negative aspects of Cornell—the immense workload, competition, dreary weather, and social pressures of a large campus—have taught them valuable life lessons. The large size of the campus can be both a blessing and a curse.Cornell offers a wealth of academic, professional, and personal opportunities, but can also offers the feeling of getting lost in the crowd.

Most students agree that it falls on the individual to make the most out of one’s time at Cornell to be outgoing, open to new ideas and experiences, and proactive in pursuit of one’s goals. Classes are difficult, and no one can expect to coast, but for those who are willing to work hard, classes can be very fulfilling. Finding a balance between coursework and social activities can be difficult, but if you can manage it, you will find a campus filled with new and interesting activities to get involved in.

Off-Campus Dining at Cornell University

Great Variety

There are tons of places to eat off campus at Cornell. When the dining halls become a tad too familiar, my friends and I either walk to Collegetown where there are dozens of quaint, unique places to eat, or hop in the car and go to more typical, chain restaurants. Food is not hard to find, and it is easy to get just what you're craving.

Greek Life at Cornell University

Greek Life Balanced

There are definitely Greek life at Cornell and they are outgoing and create many events. Although there is a lot of Greek life, it is not too overbearing. There are also many people who arent a part of Greek life, so there is always a place where one will fit. Greek students are views as outgoing, friendly and cheerful, but everyone around here are like that too!
