“I love Cornell’s intense academic energy, how easy it is to dive into research and hundreds of clubs while still feeling part of a close‑knit community, but from a past‑student view I’ll say the brutal winters, the pressure to always be ‘high‑achieving,’ and the way the sprawling campus can feel isolating were all heavier than the campus‑tour vibe ever let on.”
