Cornell through a freshman's eyes: Don't miss these special spots

A&S Communications

When you arrive on campus as a new Arts & Sciences student, you learn that you are one of the 15,043 undergrads here, that there are 1,684 faculty ready to lead your classes and that you can choose from 40 majors, 59 minors and almost 4,000 classes. But what you have to discover over time, for yourself, are all of the places on campus where you can do this work — places to eat, study, relax, meet with your friends or study partners or places to just enjoy the beauty of Ithaca.

Meet our student ambassadors

These may be uncertain times, but we are also hopeful for the fall and thrilled to welcome the Class of 2024. Our A&S student ambassadors, like all of our students, are learning remotely for the rest of this semester, but we asked some of them to share their thoughts about their Cornell journey so far, as well as offer words of wisdom for new students.
