<p>with respect to Berkeley, suggest you should verify that the presence of the city, and /or the housing situation, does not detract from the nature of college life, or the connection students have to the campus. Also that, as a poor college student, you can actually afford to do all those things that you think are so great to do there. My D2 transferred to Cornell from NYC, and prefers life in Ithaca.</p>

<p>There is an active frat presence at Cornell to be sure, but you are overestimating their importance. The fact is 2/3 of students are not in frats. After freshman year when the frosh are being wooed, if you are not in a frat they will likely play miimal to no role in your social life thereafter, which can be quite fulfilling regardless.You will be doing stuff with your friends.</p>

<p>Those links I posted are about Cornell vs Berkeley, you should read them. And the others you can easily find via search.</p>

<p>I will concede about the weather, in winter. In the Fall Ithaca is magnificent looking. <a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ithaca_Hemlock_Gorge.JPG[/url]”>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ithaca_Hemlock_Gorge.JPG&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
