Cornell is a mix of public and private schools.



Just to be accurate, all of Cornell is private. Its Contract Colleges have contracts with the state through which they receive funding to fulfill interests of the state, but they remain entirely privately run - similar to the way government contractors operate. On the federal level, MIT and Cornell are the only two private land-grant universities in the country.
