<p>The lines of the biographer you cite havent dissuaded me from my notion that he left due to a program for which he had “bad chemistry,” and not because of the school as a whole.</p>
<p>He (Vonnegut) did not feel he fit in well (at Cornell) until he joined the staff of the college newspaper, The Cornell Sun. And then later in his junior year he left for WWII when in academic trouble due to the particular ill-suited program that he had been forced into by an over-bearing father.</p>
