This school has something for everybody. Someone strong in academics, like myself, would flourish here because of the strong credentials of the faculty as well as the large amount of research opportunities available. However, there is also a very distinct social scene. Collegetown, an area just outside the school with restaurants and apartments, is the social hub of Cornell. The person that is best suited for this school is an individual who is outgoing, intelligent, and willing to take risks. Be open-minded as well!

The culture at Cornell University is unique, and its students are what makes it special. Therefore, I believe a Cornell student is a hard-working, well-rounded and talented individual who demonstrates a balance between leadership and collaboration, academics and passions, and work and play. Students thrive by working in a competitive environment, interacting with a diverse network of people, and living in a beautiful city carved by gorges and waterfalls.

The kind of people should be those that are ready to be challenged. College is about crafting a niche in the world, about finding an identity and a place. To do so, a person sometimes has to step out of their comfort zone. If you are planning to be shelled up, perhaps this isn't the right place for you. But if you are open and willing to try new things, well Cornell has plenty of people willing to help you along.

Any person can attend Cornell. One of the university quites is " any person, any study". Cornell is a large campus that offers so much. More than 800 clubs and organizations are currently active. This allows for anyone to find something that they can enjoy.

Amanda

An extremely motivated and independant learner would thrive at Cornell; it is an enviroment that constantly promotes academics but also provides an abundance of opportunities that can only be found if the student takes the time to take advantage of what is being offered. With such a large campus and a larger population of students, it is necessary for each individual to take the time to seek out what is going on around campus.

In my opinion, people who love to discover different possibilities , who have curiosities and who can hold their pressure should attend this school. Cornell provides tons of opportunities from a board range. There is always something you can do here everyday if you look for it. However, being in an Ivy League university, Cornell students must study very hard to earn a good GPA, and remember, no one is dumm here. Study is the priority and diligence alone is not enough for a good grade. So be awared and be perpared of the academical pressure.

A typical type - A personality should attend Cornell University. Everyone is extroverted, outgoing, and fun on top of being smart, hard working, and driven to succeed. Most of the students at Cornell are not shy, and those who are often break out of their shell very quickly. Every single student is involved in extra-curricular activities ranging from research to sports, and new clubs are formed each and every semester. Cornell Unviersity is not for the lazy, nor is it for the student who is not willing to completely immerse themselves in the college experience.

A Cornell student should be one that is extremely driven and willing to work hard. This is an Ivy league university and as such requires imense time and effort to ensure success. A Cornell student is also one who is willing to step out of their comfort zone and take courses that inspire them and spark knowledge or interest in new and diverse fields. Due to Cornell's large size, a Cornell student should also be somewhat extroverted and willing to socialize and meet new people so they may obtain both an intelectual education as well as a social one.
