Gradschoolkid2- a city kid all her life- is loving life in Ithaca. She has a car, but takes the Cornell bus to campus b/c parking is indeed (as @momofsenior1 so pithily put it) a pia. It’s a great system.

Cornell is, indeed, intense, but the gradschoolkid (who is TAing in the engineering school) says it’s just b/c the workload is so heavy- she says she doesn’t see students competing (in a negative way) with each other.
