There is no limit to the types of people you will find at Cornell. The wide variety of programs and colleges offers something for just about anyone. The people who will get the most out of attending Cornell are those who are dedicated to learning, and who are looking for a place with a wide offer of extracurricular activities. As a shy person myself, it can be hard to find your place, but simply by joining a club or even going to office hours, you can meet other students and find friends almost anywhere.

Hardworking, talented and passionate students should apply to Cornell University. Cornell students need to be self motivated and willing to go the extra mile in order to be successful. Furthermore, Cornell is a campus that thrives on community; applicants should be eager and willing to be apart of campus life and embrace the opportunity to interact with diverse individuals.

Students at Cornell are all very open-minded individuals who are also able to stay true to their character and beliefs. In a school with such a large student body, it is easy to get lost in the shuffle. There are hundreds of clubs, extracurricular activities, social organizations, and majors to choose from, so it is easy to feel like a small fish in a big pond. What makes Cornell unique is that every student is able to contribute his/her true self while embracing the differences in others that give the student body depth.
Marisa
Focused, determined, good with time management, open to diverse subject matters , and have enough of money to enjoy the campus' resources.
Michael
A person who is driven, intelligent, and has self-confidence. It is a hard school, but has a beautiful campus and wonderful people. It can be hard for students who are lower or middle class to "fit in" as much of the student population come from an upper class background.
Victoria
Someone who is very academically driven, enjoys cold weather (plus snow and rain), can think of creative ways to have fun!

To attend Cornell, you need to be a go-getter. Someone who knows how to get passionate. There are hundreds of clubs and majors for people to invest their time in, and people here know how to work hard. It's an intense environment, but you'll earn respect if you join in on the passion for life, learning, and making your mark. I love that at Cornell, you can feel free to be yourself, there's literally a place for all sorts. But don't be surprised if someone speaks their opinion on how you live your life.

Stephen
