i think as far as the intellectualism vs. party scene goes, youre going to have to make some sacrifices no matter which school you go with. honestly, people at cornell are smart, but as a lot of people have said, they come off as more practical than intellectual. i have to say i haven’t heard much talk outside of classes of the sort youre referring to. so i wouldn’t come to cornell expecting to find an overwhelming amount of intellectualism (though I’m sure you could seek those kinds of people out).

basically though, i think you should probably see it as a choice between intellectualism (uchi) vs. party scene with intelligent people (cornell). because obviously you’ll find parties at uchi and intellectualism at cornell, but each school has a pretty clear character as far as those characteristics go.
