Lots of my Cornell friends who went pre-med attended that school for obvious reasons, including to save on tuition. They are Cornell alum just as much as I am, and anyone who claims otherwise is blowing smoke. Do you consider there is no difference from a Berkeley graduate as compared with UCLA or UC Davis?

"Now I have no idea why the Ag school also has communications majors." Those sort of things have a history behind them, often not even a particularly interesting one. My wife's department, philosophy and specializes in modal logic, is in a fine arts college.

Inode, Cornell is made up of seven undergraduate colleges (and I forget how many grad schools). Three of those colleges are partially funded by the state, which means they can charge less for tuition, especially for NY state residents. So? Only the original campus is Ivy League. Not the entire college system, some of which has only recently been added. If Harvard bought our the University of Tennesse and called It South Harvard then by your definition that great school in Knoxville Tennessee would be Ivy League.
