Depending on a student's focus, classmates can range drastically from extremely competitive pre-med students to laid-back AEM majors and there is always a wide variety in people's socioeconomic backgrounds, ethnicities, home state, etc.
Sophia
My classmates are hard working, intelligent, and independent thinkers.

There is no typical Cornellian. We have so many diverse students in every way.

There are a variety of types of students. Everyone is very accepting and friendly. There are a lot of international students and students from all different backgrounds.

Students at this school for the most part are laid back. Everyone here takes their academics very seriously, BUT they also know how to have fun. There's a good balance of work and play. The students here are very diverse and accepting of one other. There are international students from countries such as Korea, Ghana, and Canada to name a few and a lot of them intermix. I don't think anyone would feel out of place at this school, there is something for everyone here.

I think there really is every type of student at this school and I don't think anyone would feel out of place here. Not only is the campus diverse, but there are student groups and clubs that represent all of the different types of students on campus as well.
What people wear to class really varies- some people will wear all sweats, and others will wear designer clothes- it's really about what you feel comfortable with.
Different types of students do interact, and there is actually a huge push for diversity and interaction at Cornell right now (such as diversity dinners and different student groups co-sponsoring events).
There are students from all over the country and all over the world at Cornell. However, I think most students are from New York State than from anywhere else. This is partially because of Cornell's land grant status.
Students are politically active- the Cornell Republicans and Cornell Democrats are both active groups on campus.
I don't think I've ever spoken to someone about how much they'll earn one day
