@monydad—excellent, excellent post! You perfectly captured so much of what I think makes Cornell special. Your first paragraph provides a wonderful summary.

I ‘used’ the university the way you described, taking courses in Ag Ec, ILR, Hotel, ORIE, & the Johnson School, all in the process of cobbling together my own business degree. The university has now codified that approach in the Dyson U/G business minor, but it was fun digging through the paper course catalog to find interesting courses. I still regret that I was never able to take a course in City & Regional Planning within AA&P; there were too many pre-reqs to satisfy in my remaining semesters.

And, yes, the weather is not always pleasant….but it is a great place to go to college.
