My Day as an Arts and Sciences Student

What is your favorite thing about Cornell?

My favorite thing about Cornell is the people and the welcoming campus design. I was nervous about coming to college my freshman year, but North Campus made that transition incredibly special. Its vibrant atmosphere brings together students from diverse backgrounds who are all navigating the same new chapter of life. I was surrounded by friends who were all going through this transition, which made Cornell immediately feel like home.
