Cornell the Lady Gaga of Law Schools Forum

[artichoke]

I don't like it as much as I like mon-sun drinking.

Cornell is the school for you

No but, really? Is there a large drinking culture there? There is nothing I cannot stand more than frat party drinking. I'm talking about scotch at the end of the night, not like, keg stands.

So, you don't have very many friends do you?

I don't understand the difference between these two things.

He's insinuating that he is more mature because he sits at home by himself and drinks scotch instead of going out, socializing, and drinking natty.

Right, I got that. I guess more clear would have been: Why can't I do both? (And I do)

Right, my point is, I don't want to go to a school with a dominant frat party culture. My question was, if this is how one would describe Cornell. Get it?

Well, that proves my point.

No, I get what artichoke is saying. I definitely prefer the more relaxed bar/restaurant scene to the club/frat party culture. I did the frat thing for the first few years of undergrad and it was a lot of fun, but it just doesn't appeal to me now like it used to. Maybe I just got lame.

To try and answer your question, every law school has a large amount of people who drink and socialize, Cornell is probably among some of the bigger offenders because of its isolation.

Yep, and if I'm lame now, so be it, but I want to be around other people who are lame as well, not frat boys.

In general, bar scenes around universities is the same or equitable enough to a frat scene. Therefore, if you don't like going to a house party, you probably won't like going to a packed bar/club around the university either. You don't have to get wasted and do a keg stand, but if you aren't ok with these things at all, you'll probably not be around others that drink all that often. It's fine if you don't drink, but just understand what you are getting into.

Cornell undergrad is certainly a pretty frat heavy culture. Ithaca has plenty of fine wine bistros and cute little restaurants as well though. So I imagine you can get either- I don't see how the undergraduate culture can directly influence the law school beyond a certain extent.

And I disagree- there are nice bars too, for the faculty. Not just fratty bars.

Hmm, I hadn't heard this about Cornell honestly. Thank you for giving me an honest answer, it's helpful!

Eh, I dunno about that. I'm living in an area that seems to be almost entirely grad students (WUSTL and SLU), and the bar scene around here is noticeably different than the bars/frat parties/apt parties (we don't have houses) that are frequented by undergrads. I love to drink (just ask my GPA), but I'd much rather do it with grad students than undergrads.

I'm not an undergrad there, to be clear- just from NY, and so have about 30 friends who went there, plus my uncle's on faculty so I know other parts of Ithaca. Only way to know for sure is to judge for yourself.

What's funny, is we live in the same place, and I would wholheartedly disagree with you about the Central West End and that area. The landing, sure, it's usually an older crowd, but not the area around the schools and Central West End.

Edit: you also have to understand, i'm not talking about animal house type shit, i'm talking about realistic house parties that you see at the frats on a campus like WUSTL. There aren't really keg stands going on, just a lot of drinking, socializing, and dancing. That is about it.

there's a reason the incidence of alcoholism is much higher amongst attorneys than the general population. once you get to law school, you'll be pounding natty as fast as you can get your hands on it when you have a free hour or two.

If you're too cool to drink a four loko, I don't wanna know you.

lol, I saw some kid at the grocery store on friday night with a cart full of yellow four loko's, at least 30-40 were in that cart. But, to be honest, four loko is gross.

Ohhh my god. I'm definitely going to need to think about my school preferences.
