Street

Read a random definition: examination report

A quick definition of Street:

A street is a public road in a town or city that people can use to walk or drive on. It's owned and taken care of by the city or town. A street usually has sidewalks for people to walk on. It's important that streets are kept safe for everyone to use.

A more thorough explanation:

A street is a public road or paved passageway in a town or city that is owned and maintained by the municipality for public use. It is a place where people can walk, drive, or ride their bikes. A street usually includes sidewalks, but a private road cannot be a street.

For example, in Florida, a street includes “all public roads or ways within municipality over which it has jurisdiction and as to which it owes public duty to exercise reasonable care to keep and maintain them in reasonably safe condition for public use.” This means that the municipality is responsible for making sure that the street is safe for everyone to use.

In Virginia, the “fundamental idea of a ‘street’ is not only that it is public, but that it is public for all purposes of free and unobstructed passage, which is its chief and primary use.” This means that a street is meant to be used by everyone and should not be blocked or obstructed in any way.

Do the admissions offices close on Veterans Day?
I think someone here was really interested in Cornell Law. I forgot their username now but I just talked to the Cornell admissions rep at the Houston LSAC fair and apparently 2/3 of people who interview at Cornell ultimately get in.

I wonder what it’s dependent on? Are the 2/3 chosen on stats, or interview performance, or more holistically?
I'm honestly not sure

is Cornell a school where only people who interview get in?
I think so
She said historically a quarter get interview invites and then two thirds of those people get in.
