RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Cornell University full-time (More than 5 years)
Pros
Access to high quality eduction, plethora of extra curricular events, world renown experts whether at the university or invited, decent food options, and name recognition. Ithaca is a nice town to live in, albeit slightly expensive for the middle of nowhere.
Cons
Ithaca is isolated from the rest of society -- NYC is a 4 hour drive minimum. Food options on campus are quite limited when late or during breaks.
As a graduate student, our status within the university is in a quantum superposition state between student and employee. Benefits are limited, and representation is minimal.
Also, graduate life can be brutally taxing on work/life balance. True almost anywhere, though.Cornell University 2019-01-03 12:29 PST![Cornell University Logo]()
