Does anyone actually care where I go to school (engineering)?

If D2 relied on the Greek party scene for fun she might not have loved it there either. She hates that stuff. I personally would also find that monotonous. But she came in as a sophomore and had zero to do with greek life whatsoever. Her social life revolved around friends she met through her various activities and her house mates. House parties, going out together in small groups, or just “hanging out” in someone’s apartment. Zero greek activities for her. It is not necessary to love, or partake in, the Greek party scene to love Cornell. It’s admittedly more difficult to avoid it as a freshman, however.

It’s not merely a matter of coming from an urban area,though. D2 came there from NYC for goodness sakes, and found plenty to do in Ithaca.

But I take from this that not everyone finds the “magic formula”.
