Tell us about an off-campus program you’ve participated in.

As a part of AAP I am beyond excited to study abroad in our Cornell in Rome program, available junior year to interested Architects, Artists, and Planners.

Tell us about your favorite place to study.

Once again, it is very difficult to pick a favorite when there are so many great options. I use a number of library spaces like the Cocktail Lounge and Asia Reading Room but also lounges within my college and dorm. I even enjoy studying in my room at times. Having many options is the best part, and I keep discovering new areas every day!

Tell us about your favorite spot on campus or in Ithaca.

One of my favorite places to take in the amazing views of Ithaca and campus is the fifth floor of the free-admission Johnson Art Museum. I would recommend the panoramic observation floor to any visitor or student, especially if it is your first visit to campus.

Where is your go-to place to eat on-campus and your favorite thing to order?

There is so much great food on campus it is hard to pick a favorite. A standout is the unique (and delicious) Orange Chicken Burrito, available Wednesdays and Fridays at Statler's Terrace restaurant. I also love dining at Trillium where there is a wide selection of customizable, made-to-order foods like pasta, ramen, quesadillas, or burgers.

What clubs/activities are you involved with on campus?

I am VP of the Organization of Urban and Regional Studies, an AAP Ambassador, an Outdoor Odyssey Guide, part of Community Crew, and part of Greek life.

What inspires you?

Seeing everyone around me being so passionate about their studies and involvement on campus definitely motivates me. The atmosphere is also very helpful and collaborative, and not at all competitive as I feared it would be.

What is your favorite class so far and why?

My favorite class so far has been CRP 1103: Observing the City. This was a hands-on class within my City and Regional Planning department that focused on hands-on field research. We discussed everything related to urbanism, from transportation to housing, and had frequent site visits to downtown, Collegetown, and around campus. We also met with a number of local officials in what was a perfect introductory class to the Urban Studies major.
