One of my best friends from HS went to Cornell and I visited him a few times. He graduated this year. It's a lovely campus, but I wouldn't want to be there in the winter. BTW, I was at Bill Clinton's convacation speech this year and I noticed a group of mids in chokers. I also noticed that they didn't salute during the national anthem and were actually talking amongst themselves during it. I hope you weren't one of them. I introduced myself to one of them after the speech (I was in civies) and mentioned it to him. He seemed to not know what I was talking about.
