<p>Yours cons about Cornell are very naive. The supposed prestige of a university is no where near as important as the quality of your field of study. Also, why does it matter that Cornell is the least selective ivy; it has by far the best engineering program. Additionally, you can find people from all political backgrounds at Cornell. I would say a majority of students are liberal, but that doesn’t mean that people are going to judge you for your views. </p>
<p>I laughed so hard when you said large/state school feel. What does that even mean? For me, Cornell is the perfect size. 14,000 undergrads in over 80 majors in 7 different colleges. Before you know it, it seems like you know almost everyone on campus. To be honest, I couldn’t imagine going to a smaller school; I think I would be bored.</p>
