I chose Cornell over Caltech four years ago. I didn’t like the 9:1 m:f ratio and the one-dimensional personality of the campus and its students. I didn’t personally see myself enjoying it there and the long distance from home didn’t help. Keep in mind these are all personal factors and you will feel differently about these things.

The academics there are equal if not better than at cornell. I am actually doing Applied and Engineering Physics (basically the same thing as applied physics) here and it’s the top department in the nation in that field. Applied physics here is top notch if that’s what you plan on doing.
