As has been stated, the similarities between the two schools are many. Top Tier has noted one of the biggest difference is location. Cornell is in a beautiful but rural location with a fun college town within walking distance but that’s about all you can walk to, NU is a suburban town with a beach on campus and a fun college town within walking distance but also a major city (Chicago) with an easy pubic transit commute.

NU is on a quarter system, Cornell on a semester system. Both my kids have experienced each and prefer a quarter system, but again, that is personal preference.

You can’t go wrong with either choice. Good luck!
