Christian BrickhouseLinguistics & Anthropology Buffalo, NYWhy did you choose Cornell?I chose Cornell for a bunch of different reasons, but the most important is that, when I visited, it felt right to me. I could see myself enjoying the next four years of my life here, while getting an amazing education. I liked that educational breadth was just as important as depth and that I was encouraged to explore my interests.
