Questions from a prospective student

<p>Does the frat system dominate campus at Cornell the way it does at schools like Vanderbilt (42% of students in frat). I’ll be at the frat parties, I just really don’t want to join one.</p>

<p>Is there intramural sports: basketball, football, etc.?</p>

<p>Though Cornell is in the Ivy League, do people actually watch sports (NBA, NFL, MLB)?</p>

<p>What I like about Cornell is that its the perfect size (13,000 ugs). But tell me about the class sizes: are there a lot of small in-class discussions? Do lectures and office hours make the school feel like the traditional red-tape big ole state u.?</p>

<p>I know it will be tough to get A’s, but if I’m studying history and econ, will I dying just to get a 3.5?</p>
