Purdue and Cornell
Hello,
I am a Purdue and Sigma Alpha alum. It is a wonderful midwestern school. Purdue is frequently called the Ivy League of the Big Ten. The Animal Science and Agribusiness teachers were exceptional when I attended (10 years ago). A friend of mine works for Purdue and said things have just gone upwards from when I went to school there. The students and staff were friendly and helpful. The culture is different from the east coast but, should be manageable (I'm from New York and Maryland).
My older sister graduated from Cornell University. She received an excellent education and was happy to attend school there. It is in a fairly remote region of New York so, travelling to New York City would not be a quick journey. I believe she would choose Cornell again but, did find it to be very cut throat. She graduated as a Pre-Vet major so, was also in many Animal Science courses.
Both schools are in college towns. Purdue is a much larger school with newer buildings. Cornell is a more historic setting.
I hope you find this input helpful. Good luck to you!
