Katlynn R.
I am part of Society of Women Engineers (SWE), Cornell Webdev, and on the Toiletree team, which creates a website that rates and locates all of the bathrooms around Cornell's campus. I am also part of the mechanical subteam for the Nexus project team. The goal of our project team is to make an autonomous robot that cleans up microplastics on beaches.
Cornell has the perfect environment for studying. Resources are provided so that students can focus and excel in their academics while experiencing life as a college student.
I met most of my best friends during orientation week. We were all in the same orientation group and quickly became friends. I met a lot of my other friends in classes and also befriended friendly people who lived in my residence hall.
Cornell has one of the best engineering programs, and I knew I wanted to pursue engineering. The College of Engineering has a lot of structure and helps students explore their academic passion while providing the framework of necessary subjects as well.
My classmates inspire me. Every single day I see people working super hard, and I feel like that energy rubs off on me.
Bus Stop Bagels in Kennedy Hall is my favorite place to get lunch. I always get a Route 13 with a mango dragon fruit iced drink. Usually for dinner, I go to one of the West Campus dining halls.
My Cornell experience is unique because I learn so much more than just my major-related topics, but also deeper engineering knowledge in general. Although it was challenging at first, I've become a better student and scholar.
I am planning to do the M.Eng program. After getting my M.Eng degree, I plan to work in tech companies in a software/AI-related role.
My favorite place to study is in the midst of the book stacks in Olin Library. It's very quiet and helps me focus on my work.
