Cornell rocks, but don't only come because you think the Block Plan will be easy because it is most certainly NOT. So long as you have good time management skills and a real desire to learn you'll be fine. Good school, but still... Iowa

Amazing college experience! Small class sizes with engaged, knowledgeable professors. Beautiful campus and the college continues to make updates. Activities for all interests and easy to get involved in many. Grateful for the career services department as they helped find an internship that led me to establish a career in the field.

I love this school + I love the scheduling system we have. However, you HAVE to make sure this system will work for you. That's why the people who don't like the school, end up not liking it. It's been a game changer for me though, and for the first time ever I have all As and Bs and a healthy social life while in school. I absolutely love it here.

Cornell College is a small school and it shows. If you work hard, you will be rewarded. I really like it here.

I graduated a long time ago, but have visited frequently. I continue to support Cornell financially and occasionally represent it at college fairs in my area. Its reputation has steadily climbed, just as its always-excellent facilities and programs have also steadily improved. It's a supportive, engaging, fun, and rewarding experience.

The food is amazing but it's really repetative

Cornell College is the best college has to offer. Small-town feel with big-world opportunities. I had the best 4 years anyone could ask for. I did an internship in Uruguay, spent a week in Japan, and traveled to Puerto Rico and Hawaii with the tennis team. My best friends were made at Cornell. Classes are great and small. Lots to do on campus.

Don't fall into the trap! They will say the block plan is just as good as the semester plan. This is a lie! There can only be two kinds of classes here: the buries you under insane amounts of homework that drives you to the point of insanity class or the dumbed down class and you will learn nothing from either!
