Cornell's physical beauty initially drew me in. The buildings are all gorgeous, and the view of Cayuga Lake from above is stunning. The campus is gorgeous in the fall when all of the leaves change color. As I did further research, I liked that Cornell is a medium-sized school, and I realized it would be an excellent academic fit with a great and global alumni network.
My favorite place to eat on campus is Macs in the Statler Hotel. It's an excellent spot for lunch between classes; their sandwiches are super filling and will leave you satisfied all day. I also enjoy going to the Dairy Bar every once in a while for some ice cream! Cornell has a great app called Eatery, where you can see the food options for all the on-campus spots. The app is perfect for people with dietary restrictions, as you can see menus ahead of time and plan accordingly.
I'm the treasurer of the Women's Club Softball Team, a Big Red Ambassador, and a fitness monitor at Cornell Recreation Centers, and I play in an intramural pickleball league.
Ithaca is such a great college town; there are so many fun things to do. Going to the Ithaca Farmers Market or picking apples at one of the various orchards are great weekend activities in the fall. Sometimes, getting off campus is fun, so heading down to the Ithaca Commons to enjoy a meal at a nice restaurant is also fun!
My favorite Cornell memory is traveling with my club softball team to regionals in Pennsylvania. Even though we were not at Cornell, we brought our Big Red pride, and it was such a fun experience. Coming into Cornell, I didn't know I was going to join the team, and I certainly didn't think I'd be traveling with them to another state, but I am very grateful for the opportunity to have done both. Joining clubs is a great way to meet new people and do things you wouldn't usually have the chance to do.
