<p>Yeah, when I visited Cornell I found out about the termination of the nuclear department and another professor directed me to email Prof. Bing Cady if I had any questions.</p>
<p>I’m planning on visiting Michigan this week, so I should have a better comparison of the two campuses and how they feel by the weekend (since I just visited Cornell last weekend). I’m basically grappling with the issue that I really enjoy the feels of both campuses (I feel like I’d ‘fit’ at either place). Cornell’s campus is beautiful and has kind of a secluded feel to it, but Michigan’s north campus (where I’ll be spending a majority of my time in classes) has the same sort of natural/secluded atmosphere. I’ve been a lifelong Michigan fan and I’ll definitely miss having the opportunity to spend time cheering on Michigan sports if I go to Cornell. Along with the Big Ten sports though comes the immense size of the student body, something I’m not sure I’d prefer over cornell’s mid-size student population. Ann Arbor wins out over Ithaca in my opinion, but Cornell blew me away with its student facilities (dorms, dining halls, noyes rec center). For any comparison that doesn’t seem to end in a wash there is a pair of counterbalancing pros for each school.</p>
