There were some great things at Cornell, and depending on what field of study, I would highly recommend it or highly disrecommend it. I had experiences there that were far outside what I could have gotten elsewhere and I value them to this day. On the other hand, if I were weak-minded, then the liberal side could have sucked me in and ruined me.
If looking for contacts and networking, Ivy is the way to go. But if going to graduate school for sure, I’d recommend a good solid undergrad and then go to an Ivy for grad school.
Ivy for grad school.

Depends on the field of study. In my profession, the Ivies do not have the best reputations.
