My favorite spot on campus is Olive Tjaden Hall, which is where I spend most of my time. Tjaden houses all the art studios (except for sculpture) and has fantastic equipment, studio space, and faculty floating around all day.
My go-to lunch order on campus is the pasta bar at Trillium! For coffee, I love the Green Dragon.
I am a College of Architecture, Art, and Planning (AAP) Ambassador and am involved with Guiding Eyes for the Blind.
Professors and older students have been great resources for me to ask about grad school, internships, and my resume. I've also had a lot of help from Career Services when it comes to thinking about post-grad. If you need any help with adjusting to campus life, I would recommend reaching out to resources available at your dorm as they're super friendly and knowledgeable people.
When I was applying to Cornell, I wish someone had told me that the school is so big that it's impossible not to find a place, and people, you feel comfortable with. We're lucky to have amazing, hardworking students that bring great events to campus. There's so many groups to join and interests to explore that I never would have thought about before Cornell.
