Cornell Singles

Cornell Singles is a dating site that is focused on helping single students, faculty, alumni and friends of Cornell University find each other. Because of the narrow focus of this site I can tell you up front that it is a site most people will not be interested in, but for the target audience it is a decent site.

The site looks really good and has a clean, easy to use design. Getting a free membership is fast and easy. Once inside you can search other member's profiles with a basic search that allows you to sort people by age range and distance from you. There is also an advanced search option called Super Match that uses the details from you profile to better match you with different people. There are about 800 members in the site as of this writing with the split between men and women being pretty much even. You can search the site and look at people's profiles with your free membership, but you will have to get a paid membership if you want to contact people directly.

Almost all of the members live in and around the University so if you live in that area there are a decent number of people for you choose from. If you live anywhere else then the site really isn't reasonable for you to use because all the members are in a different part of the country. There are no chat rooms, instant message options or any features like that so you can't even chat with other members that are online at the same time you are.

In the end this is a site that will work well for some and not for others. It is stripped down and offers just the bare essentials as far as features go, but it does have nice profiles and some good search options. If you are involved with university or you live around it give the site a try, you just might like it. My score is for the rest of us that don't live near the school or have nothing to do with it. In our case, the site really isn't worth our time.
