<p>I would say pick where you think you’d be happiest.
Cornell is a very diverse place, but certainly there are many there who share your interests, and you can certainly get your sports itch scratched, if that’s what you’re into.

<p>BTW huge alumni group in NYC, many activities and events. When I say huge, there’s over 36,000 alums in NYC and vicinity, half are in the city proper. D2 has an easy time getting back & forth from home, There’s actually an NYC bus that leaves right from campus. And she gets to see some of her college friends on breaks, as many of them live in the area.</p>
