But will I find people who I can sit down with and discuss philosophy politics and transcendentalism (joking…but not really) with and still party hard with on the weekends?



You will find people on both ends…they just won’t be the same people lol Beer fries a certain amount of our brain cells.

Most students at Cornell are intelligent (but not genius-category), hardworking, and career-minded (pre-professional). Heavy concentration of pre-law, premed, and i-banking types (you will find this at most top schools). However, in every class you will always find students who go above and beyond the assigned work. They bring in articles to share and stay after class to talk with the professor. I don’t think the atmosphere is as intellectual as Chicago but I think you can always find intellectual peepz (the beauty of attending a large, diverse school).
