Everything. From PBL (not for everyone), to the atmosphere, to the attitude of the students, to the medical facilities and opportunities for travel and research- Cornell stands out amongst elite institutions.

Gym facilities are lacking- but you'd be in NYC- where you can get anything you can ever want.
