Cornell college visit

I'm planning on visiting Cornell next month and I was wondering if you guys have any tips on what to do or see during my visit? Anything specific I should be looking for or asking about while I'm there? I'm a little bit stressed because I want to make the most of it!

No need to be stressed! A college visit is an opportunity for you to explore the campus and get a feel for the school. When visiting Cornell, be sure to do the following:

1. Take a campus tour: It's the best way to familiarize yourself with the campus and ask questions about the University. Student-led tours are usually available.

2. Attend an information session: These sessions provide an overview of the school, academic programs, and extracurricular opportunities, as well as share insights on the admissions process.

3. Visit your intended major/college: Each of Cornell's seven undergraduate colleges/schools has their own unique features, so visit the one that interests you most. You may be able to sit in on a class or speak with a professor depending on class availability.

4. Explore the libraries: Cornell has a wealth of libraries, including the popular Uris Library and the Olin Library. Take a look inside to get a feel for the study environment.

5. Check out dining options: Cornell's dining halls are consistently ranked among the best in the nation. Be sure to try a meal at one of their dining locations to get a taste of the food the campus offers.

6. Visit the Cornell Botanic Gardens: As a scenic escape, the Cornell Botanic Gardens offers a great opportunity to explore the beauty of Cornell's surroundings and to relax during your visit.

7. Talk to current students: This is one of the most valuable ways to get a real feel for the student body. Ask about their experiences, what they like and dislike about the school, and any other questions you may have.

Remember, the goal is to get a sense of whether Cornell's environment and educational offerings are a good fit for you. Have fun exploring the campus and don't forget to take some pictures and notes to help you remember your visit!
