Intellectual Atmosphere at Cornell?

Why is everyone attacking the OP over the safety school comment? Is it so hard to believe that there is a very very very small minority of students who DO consider Cornell a safety? It’s all relative. Just as you might consider your state school your safety, someone else might consider that same school as his/her dream school.

I don’t know much about Cornell, but the lower-quality students compared to the other Ivies/top universities and the fact that it’s labeled as a party school doesn’t make it seem very intellectual. At least, intellectualism doesn’t seem to define Cornell, though you can definitely find it there (and just about any school…)
