Patrick LynchPhysicsCollege Station, TXWhy did you choose Cornell?When I started college, I had no idea which major I wanted to study. Cornell offered a wide breadth of studies and didn't make me commit until I was a sophomore. This was good for me, since I arrived at Cornell interested in the liberal arts but graduated with a degree in physics.

Jendayi Brooks-FlemisterEnglishLoris, SCWhy did you choose Cornell?I chose Cornell because of the breadth of possibilities it presented to me. I was entirely undecided in my mind, and I wanted to try out sociology, psychology, English, gender studies and art...I also wanted to learn Japanese. So, what better place to get all of that done than Cornell?
