Feedback about
the School of Criticism and Theory (SCT)
"The SCT is a great place in which one can meet many people from all around the world, with various intellectual backgrounds and interests. I learned from everybody, everyday and in every moment of my stay at Cornell. . . the exposure to learning is absolute and continuous. Everyone is eager to meet new people and completely interested in learning, reading and discussing."

"Ithaca is a great place in the summer. A surprisingly lively and charming town, it provides a very appropriate setting for the most exciting intellectual experience. The seminar, the lectures, the follow-ups, the colloquia, the reading groups and the daily intensive contact with engaging faculty and with the other participants, coming from many countries and different intellectual formations, offer a unique occasion for learning and for cultivation of new ideas. Often the discussions would proceed from a lecture to a lovely reception and from the reception to a nearby pub, where it was common to converse amiably about Kant’s critique of pure reason after midnight, with the extra support of local ales and bowls of popcorn."
