What are Cornell students like?

I haven’t found anyone who is competitive here. There are your typical kids who work all the time (and tend to be socially awkward) and a smaller group of students who are apathetic about their work.
Aside from a couple fraternities (Alpha Delt, maybe half of Sig Phi or Psi U), there is hardly anyone who is preppy here. Even the kids from prep schools tend not to be that preppy. Nonetheless, if you are normally able to pull the look off it will still work at Cornell.
