<p>It all depends on fit, When you visit, take notes of the atmosphere. However if your biggest concern about Cornell is the partying and size, I was concerned about that too when I first got in. There are many students who go out and party but my group of friends and I don’t party and it’s easy to find others who feel similarly. All schools have a party scene and it’s just as easy to find it as it is to have fun without it. The upside of Cornell’s size is that you can always find something to do on campus that doesn’t involve partying or drinking. Also I thought that I wouldn’t see people that I recognized in my classes. CoE is basically a college within a college. I am a freshman in CoE here and am seeing all the same people in my classes. It isn’t as big as it seems because you are basically with all the other freshman engineers. </p>
<p>I wouldn’t base your decisions on others though, when you visit the campuses make sure to take in the atmospheres and decide based on how you feel about them.It’s a hard decision to make but remember that you can always transfer if you don’t like whatever you choose for some reason. And also, don’t worry about the reputation of the schools’ programs, no matter which you choose, all will give you a great education and get you a well-paying job, especially as an engineer.</p>
