Ask someone who accepted to CORNELL UNIVERSITY isthisrealife.jpg

bump

how much debt are you looking at upon graduation?

congrats BTW. I remember when I got accepted into my top choice PhD program. I felt on top of the world.

[mrsixpercent]

I pretty sure I'm going to stay in engineering. If Cornell doesn't give me any grants then I will definitely go to a cheaper UC. I plan on working after undergrad so hopefully everything works out.

That's good. Don't underestimate how much loans can affect you later on. I saved money in college and am now in a strong professional grad program where I'm having to shell out a ton for tuition. I have several friends who went to top schools and are already in a crap ton of debt + now they've got to worry about an extra 200k+ in loans plus undergrad loans.

[tcatcrawler]

don't listen to this idiot.

new york is absolutely BEAUTIFUL. winters are not bad (Quebec brah) unless you REALLY can't take the cold a couple months out of the year, and remember if you're feeling down or depressed talk to a school counselor/doctor that's what they're there for.

I go to Concordia in Montreal and am mad jelly that you have such a beautiful campus, imagine taking walks with a girl around the water falls (like I said mad jelly)

the cold is a big factor for the OP to consider.

brb not being able to get any fresh air b/c it's too cold. in cali OP will be able to study with fresh breeze blowing through the windows. little things like that DO MATTER when you're depressed/homesick.

I agree with this completely. Make sure you know what your end goal is before deciding on a school and think about the best way to get there. If you aren't planning on going to grad school then a solid degree from a high rep school may be worth it. But if you want a master's I would strongly take this into consideration.

I'm not in engineering, but my bro is in Computer Science and he went to a mediocre undergrad (mizzou), but worked his ass off, had no UG debt, and got into Georgia Tech's graduate CS program. So in the end everyone will see a top 5 Master's program and won't give a f*ck about where he went to UG. instead of being 140k in debt from UG & MS he will just be 50-60k in debt from his MS program.

seriously OP, stay safe

Prepare your angus for actual weather.

[BigThree210]

OP pepper your angus for northeast snobby attitude and old money (srs). Not everyone is but there are quite a few. Its a good school but personally I think its overrated in some aspects. I met quite a few people from cornell at conferences and felt like I had a better education than them

[yos123]

i agree. i recommend OP take a small course load at cornell his first year just to get a feel for it.

moving cross country for college is 1 big stress in itself. (texas to new york for me)

I will thanks.

congrats bro! I'm actually from the Upstate NY area, from Cali to dem weathers its gonna be tough.
What area in Cali are you from? LA?
I ask because I'm trying to transfer to Occidental College idk if you've heard about it?
i loved my visit do you know anything about the school?

I'm from the OC. And I don't know anything about Occidental College.

It doesn't made any sense for him to go to a good school and get a good education and better his future? notsureifsrs

And no, it's not like California here, but it really is beautiful, and the summers are great.

Looking forward to experiencing all 4 seasons.

don't listen to this idiot.

Looking forward to it.

Thanks brah. Still waiting on FA package.

I'll keep that in mind, thanks brah.

I won't go if my debt is going to be in the 100k range.

Haha already starting too.

Thanks for the advice.

OP I'm enrolled in Cornell for Computer Science srs

I have been there for some time. Not sure if I'll return after this year because of price.

strong freaking campus, mirin.

[imconfused]

did they recently obliterate frats after that woman filed suit for like 25 mil when her son died? can't remember if the school just toned down the greek scene or did away with it completely...

also did you visit the campus earlier in the application process?

Financial aid package just came in today. Got a $45000 grant with an additional $2000 through a work study. So in total it is going to be around 3k a year in loans and my parents will be have to pay at 10k. This is a way better than the piece of **** offer from UCSB. Those fools were trying to squeeze 25k a year out of us.
