<p>Just curious, did you say 14 hour flight from London to JFK? Closest thing I’ve flown is Amsterdam to Orlando, but that was only 8…</p>
<p>That said, good luck with the trip! I can sympathize with the long travel times; I drive up to school from central FL, and I like to do it in one shot (19-ish hours). The bus ride probably isn’t going to be much fun, unfortunately, but hey, when it’s over, you will have a lot to look forward to. And if you get lucky, maybe you will meet some other new Cornellians along the way. </p>
<p>Also, one more thing, out of curiosity, do you have to come early because you are an international? I know they make a lot of internationals come early, but it seems its more aimed at kids from countries whose cultures are wildly different from ours here in the states, and thus may need some…“cultural sensitivity training” (cough…Arjun…cough). Are you exempt from that? I frankly haven’t met a lot of Europeans at Cornell so I’m not entirely sure what the deal is with that.</p>
