Cornell is full of incredibly talented people, but the goal is not to be the person next to you. The goal is to grow into the best version of yourself.
While I enjoy hanging out on the Slope, especially when the sun is out, I'm also grateful for the Lindseth Climbing Center, which gives me a space to challenge myself.
We are kept apprised of everything on campus and have enjoyed amazing family weekend programming. Locally, we've met other Cornell parents at the annual New Student Send-off events and are enjoying the local Cornell Club activities and community.
It all depends on you, how you want to meet people and spend your college time, and who you want to spend your memories with for the rest of your college years.
Welcome to the Big Red community! With the alma mater playing in the background and confetti falling down your screen, I can only imagine what you are feeling right now.
