Beautiful scenery (especially in the fall) and a great community of people!
Arts & Sciences allows me to pursue an interdisciplinary major and encourages me to take a variety of classes beyond my major/pre-med classes.
Cornell Career Network offers a lot of career help and other resources like quiet interview rooms, etc. I discovered it after starting to work here! Learning Strategies Center offers courses and general help with lots of introductory classes like chemistry, biology, math, etc. I signed up for the Canvas course as a first-yea for my intro science classes.
Research what Cornell has to offer and try to explore what resources/programs/activities etc. you would be interested in or see yourself joining!
Joining clubs/organizations and saying hi to people I see frequently!
Learning about other people's passions and my goal of one day treating and working with patients as a physician!
PUBPOl 2350- The US Healthcare System. As a premed, I've found it super enlightening and useful to understand how the healthcare system works and how physicians might be able to play a role in healthcare reform and sustainability.
Cognitive Science is really interdisciplinary, so I get to explore a variety of academic fields, including humanities subjects that I wouldn't get to otherwise as a premed student.
Cornell truly offers so much in classes, activities, and programs that allow you to fully explore your academic and extracurricular interests to the fullest capacity, whether in Ithaca or abroad.
I plan to go to medical school and become a physician one day!
Olin Library and the Music Library
Ithaca Falls, Purity Ice Cream, and Tacos CDMX!
Cornell has a robust academic program for pre-med, and lots of classes and activities I was interested in taking and joining! Also, I liked the idea of being in a tight-knit, small college town.
Trillium! Lots of options to choose from, including burrito/taco bowls, burgers, Wok, salads, pizza, quesadillas, and more. My personal favorite is quesadillas.
Get coffee with friends and talk take a walk! There are so many beautiful trails and parks in Ithaca/nearby that are awesome to explore!
