Cornell University more than earns its Ivy League stature with the prestigious education it provides. Students can choose from nearly 80 fields of study and they are encouraged to "break free from their comfort zones" and explore any interest they may have. As one student notes, there are endless opportunities to "pursue other topics, enhance your knowledge of things that you're already interested in and try completely random things that you'd never even heard of before." One of the more unusual fields of study includes a Viticulture and Enology program where students can learn the science and art of winemaking, including vineyard management and wine production. Information Science, an especially current focus in today's society, is where students study the relationships and impacts that technology has on people, and they can go on to shape tech policy and our future relationship with the digital world. At Cornell, professors are "experts in their field, almost always conducting their own research, and are enthusiastic about passing their knowledge on to their students," and "Cornell as an administration keeps the faculty, research, and access to the most recent information so up-to-date that this campus is as connected as any place in the world." The university has multiple satellite campusesNew York (Ithaca, Geneva, NYC), Qatar, Washington, D.C., and Rome, Italy-affording students superb opportunities to study, for example, ancient architecture in Rome, or experience a semester in the nation's capital with exposure to policymakers, think tanks, and more. Additionally, Cornell's "top notch faculty" and administration have "proven time and time again that they care, both on an individual and system-wide level." Cornell University is the very "definition of amazing" thanks to great internships, a strong alumni network, and "boundless opportunities after graduation" Says a junior, "I was intimidated to go here, but now I will say that I cannot imagine going anywhere else."
