Another Ivy League... one which many label "the easiest Ivy to get in... the hardest to get out." There's a lot of special study options, including cooperative (work-study) programs in computer science and engineering. The food, I heard, is great (from the Hotel Administration students), but the weather might take some getting used to if you've lived in California all your life.

An institution founded so that "any person can find instruction in any study, " Cornell-dubbed the first American university-continues to push the limits of this extraordinary idea. Renowned for its distinctive mix of eminent scholarship, academic rigor and commitment to public service, it attracts 20, 000 students from every state in the Union and over 120 countries. They learn from a world-class faculty teaching more than 4, 000 courses and participate in cutting-edge research in 11 undergraduate, graduate and professional schools on the uniquely beautiful Ithaca campus. The breadth of study, ranging from legendary programs in the humanities to world-class interdisciplinary research centers in nanotechnology, biotechnology, supercomputing and genomics, sets Cornell apart from its Ivy League peers. Cornell also boasts the nation's first colleges devoted to hotel administration, industrial and labor relations, and veterinary medicine. From campuses in New York City and Qatar, as well as Ithaca, President Jeffrey Lehman is expanding Cornell's pioneering vision, establishing the true transnational university of the future.
