How did you find your friends and community at Cornell?

Because Health Care Policy is a relatively niche major, I connected with peers early in my fall semester thanks to the intimate atmosphere of a small school like Brooks. Additionally, I cultivated many of my friendships by participating in different clubs and classes. For instance, enduring the challenges of CHEM 2070 during the first semester brought me closer to a group of friends as we navigated the demanding yet fulfilling journey together.

What is your favorite class so far, and why?

Being someone deeply intrigued by ethical considerations in diverse practices, my standout class so far has been PHIL 2455 Introduction to Bioethics. As I already knew about the biological processes behind CRIPSR/Cas9 gene editing, exploring the procedure through an ethical lens was eye-opening. Another subject that left a lasting impression on me in this course was the abortion unit. The opportunity to engage with well-crafted arguments from both sides of the issue was an intellectually enriching experience, empowering me to shape my own perspectives free from the influence of political bias.

What makes the Cornell experience unique?

The Cornell experience is unique in its ability to bring together students of diverse studies. For instance, within my involvement in the Cornell Policy Group's Environment and Technology Center, I collaborate with peers from diverse fields, including Environmental Engineering, Industrial and Labor Relations, Applied Economics and Management, Environmental Science and Sustainability, and Public Policy. Outside my Center, I also work with students with policy interests in domestic, education, foreign, healthcare, and economy.

As a resident of Cook House, I have a deep appreciation for the Cook Library as a quiet sanctuary for my studies. The rarely frequented quiet room allows me to fully immerse myself in a wide range of academic tasks, from composing intricate papers to preparing for demanding preliminary exams. Cook Library consistently offers a reassuring 24/7 environment that aids me through my college journey.
