I visited Cornell and was overwhelmed just LOOKING at the library with its rows upon rows of study carrels. Small class sizes are important to me, but I’m also in love with the idea of walking across campus and knowing half of the students around me by name or face. I attended small middle and high schools (~140, then ~250), and I enjoy the intimacy.

And I am a prospective English major (yes, again breaking the Asian mold), which is probably second to Psych in the popular majors race. In practical terms, I’m considering grad school and/or a practical double major such as CS, but language is my passion.

Thank you, everyone, for the advice. I definitely have some things to ponder and several ideas that I would never have thought of on my own (e.g. involving the school college counselor).
