Cornell University Top Questions

Cornell University is beauty hidden in gray skies, bridges connecting cliffs, and a place where, "Any person can find instruction in any study." And Food, Cornell is food. Cultural food, fast food, good food. It may sound silly, but the multitude of colorful dining options truly evolves into a common ground for meeting others, and engaging in scholarly debate. The community is open, and students study well into the morning hours on a regular basis. These qualities naturally drew me to Cornell. In no other college did I find this awesome combination of intellectualism and collabaration. I could grow here.

The View! It is amazing up here as far as scenery in every season. Between the campus location above the city, the hill overview looking towards the stars, the beautiful creatures (deer & squirrels), and the waterfalls all throughout the Cornell University campus, anyone would be amazed at the sight, I know I was. Also the amazing people you meet. I am sure many people believe college brings them engagement with awesome people but up at Cornell even the most disagreeable people are nice in comparison to others I have met.

Cornell has so much to offer because of its size. For example, there are program houses that allow for you to live with people that have similar interests. My freshman year, I lived in an African American dorm. It was a great experience. That is a prime example of one unique aspect of Cornell University.

The driving factor in my decision to go to Cornell was the department of biology and society. I found that the program was unique in the country for studying bioethics and the impact of science and technology on laws and policies. The prestige and long running history of the school were also attractive factors.
