I’m a Cornell alum. Had an amazing experience back in stone ages ;). My h’s entire family went to Cornell. Needless to say we were rah rah Cornell with our D

My D toured both Cornell and JHU for engineering. My D had a terrible Cornell visit. Stressed out unhappy students, too much competition for clubs and research, and too many out of college requirements for her taste. She found the students at JHU to be more collaborative and happy.

That said I know plenty of current cornellians who are living their experience so I think it’s a very personal choice.

Honestly I never had an issue with the weather. Cornell is beautiful even in the winter.

It’s a very personal decision and you don’t have a bad choice

Good luck to your student!
