Obviously that phrase isn’t literally true about Cornell. For most Cornell students, it’s probably the most fun 4 years of their lives. That said, the academic intensity is generally higher than other schools. I had quite a few friends who partied hard, but when not partying, spent long hours in the library.

Among Cornell students, the phrase we generally say is “Work hard, party harder.” And usually with the (sarcastic) implication that the partying is super intense to match the work ethic.
