I was drawn to Cornell's balance of everything I wanted: strong academics, a beautiful natural environment, and a location close enough to home but still far enough to feel like a change. Coming from New York City, Ithaca's nature felt like a refreshing switch-up, and I loved that Cornell is both intense and incredibly well-rounded. The combination of intellectual energy and genuine support for career growth made it feel like a place where I could explore widely and still feel grounded.
