How is the community of graduate students at Cornell?
A2: While I would not characterize the whole graduate student population as comprising a particularly strong community, we are certainly all friendly with each other. As one would expect, different groupings tend to form around shared interests, etc. The graduate students here are generally of high quality, and there is a reasonable diversity of philosophical interests (though there is not a great deal of diversity in philosophical approach, or, for example, political orientation). All in all, for a reasonably sociable person it is not difficult to find other grads with similar interests.
