<p>I really only know two people in Cornerstones, and I haven’t bothered asking them about it since it doesn’t affect me.</p>
<p>I cannot say much, but from what I understand Cornerstones is a way of doing general education requirements (and if you are interested they have a major they offer). The difference is you will have more interactive, seminar style classes. Looking at Patriot Web, the maximum capacity for most classes classes is 25 people. </p>
<p>Also, people in Cornerstones are able to live in the Living Learning Community (LLC). The link for the LLC is below. Piedmont Hall is a newer one, therefore you will be living in a far better place than most freshman.

<p>Before deciding, make sure the Cornerstones courses will work with your desired major (most likely it will).</p>
