Cornell vs Chicago, GO!

<p>monydad:
How did you find the curriculum, or lack of one, at Cornell? My problem is that I feel that I will take all the classes that interest me: physics, math, writing. While that may sound great, I fear it could potentially blind me from the other classes that I might find interesting but choose not to take because of some stereotype or other. Whereas at Chicago, the Core, through their requirements, transforms some students: in fact, they reportedly take pride in seeing a student switch majors because of the discovery of a new passion.
In short, could you further explicate the course structure at Cornell and how you and others dealt with it?</p>
