“Here’s to us saying goodbye… here’s to you saying hello.” THIS GOT ME

Watching this 5 days before graduation makes me realize how much I'm going to miss this incredible place.

I miss my school. I didn't know how amazing this school is when I was there because I was way too caught up in getting As. I missed out on so many things I could have enjoyed and learned from. Getting good grades definitely isn't everything. Please remember that and try to embrace all the amazing things Cornell has to offer as much as you can. This is a once in a life time experience. Spend it wisely.

To Alex Silver and Jon Tai. Please understand that you two are geniuses - and I don't throw this word around lightly. This video *literally* gave me chills. Truly great poetry mixed with awe-inspiring scenery + editing and the perfect choice of music. Thank you for making this.

This is art, this is truth. I appreciate this so much. class of '25

Almost every scene felt so personal to me, but it probably does to you too. That’s the beauty of it. Love it.

Thank you for taking the time to do this. I graduated in 1963 and have been back twice. Without a doubt its the most beautiful campus in the USA.

Its going to be 3 years since I graduated from Cornell ('13). I miss that place so much. to all of you in school now have a lot of fun please enjoy it.

Hands down, my favorite video of Cornell. Regardless of how many times I watch it, it still amazes me.

I get a chill every time when I watch this. AMAZING work. Ah I miss it back on the hill.

Just got accepted yesterday! Class of 2018! :)

wow congrats!

I watched this video before entering Cornell in 2013 and it got me hype…love the editing

It’s so interesting to read the comments that are excited for admissions or are about heading into the college and it’s more than 4 years ago so they’ve all maybe graduated.

Class of 2019!

I didn't go here but i miss it now!! :"-(

Now I can recognize every place in "This Is," and I can still recall the feeling when I first watched it 2 years ago. -Class of '15

Seeing this makes me realize to savor the moment and to not take this for granite.

RIP CTB, RIP CTP, RIP Rulloff's, RIP...

JUST GOT ACCEPTED TO THE CLASS OF 2017!

Literally seen this over 20 times already. Class of 2016!!!!

I watched this video and chose to go to cornell. Graduated 4 years ago and now watching this video again reminds me of how beautiful the campus is!

I hear from Cornell, my first choice school, tonight. Wish me luck

Absolutely a beautiful tribute. Well done Alex and Jon

Whenever I see snow, I don't think "oh man, this snow sucks." Rather, I think "Oh wow, snow! How wonderful!"

I'm now obsessed with Cornell. Thanks.

This is...my favorite university and video! It really highlights everything about Cornell...thank you :)

Rejected last year, Transferring to Cornell this fall! I've watched this 30+ times

This is beautiful. I'm looking forward to what I hope to be an acceptance letter. More than anything I hope to join this community next year.

Miss it everyday. -Class of 2010

Damnnn i randomly stumbled on this video and as soon as i heard the quote by Ezra Cornell, i knew it was Cornell. Makes me even more hyped to be attending school there this fall

beautiful production! had the time of my life here, this sums it all up:) class of '08

Beautiful.

Very very very nicely done! I feel so touched!!!

Wow. Thank you for your hard work.

This is such a lovely and touching tribute to Cornell!

very very nicely done good Gob

Congrats today to the graduating Class of 2014. This isn't temporary. From an Class of 2010 alumnus.

Amazing!

PEOPLE THAT HAVE GONE TO CORNELL, IS CORNELL ACTUALLY LIKE THIS BECAUSE IF IT IS, I FOUND A NEW DREAM SCHOOL

Glad you deem it so! Yeah what you see is what you get. Of course video / media does not do the campus justice. You just have to visit to truly experience the beauty yourself!

+gains Its me again. a year later. Cornell University Class of 2019. Unreal. When I left this comment a year ago, I never thought I'd actually get in. It was a huge reach for me. Even some of my closest friends told me I was wasting my time. And now I can actually say this is where I attend college. Life is amazing sometimes and I think what I took away from the college applying experience is that you should never put any limits on yourself. Only if you truly believe it, life really is limitless.

Had my seven year old watch this video and he stated, "That school looks cool, but do they have mine craft classes?'

You're talking to someone who has lived in upstate New York for more than 25 years. :)

@Inkedotly, how's Cornell a safety for anyone?

No ILR? Sad…but otherwise well done.

But not really, when you take financial aid into account. If you can't afford to pay full tuition, you won't have to.

Can you send me the original version with the audio? It would be a really great help for the video project I am making of my own college.Could you do it asap
