<p>Cornell has some of the most enthusiastic and best a Capella groups I’ve ever heard! They hold arch sings, where hundreds of students gather under the arch at Balch residence hall and listen to some of the most talented students Cornell has. </p>
<p>Another great thing to experience at Cornell are the hockey games – I’ve never seen such pride and school spirit like a hockey game on a Friday or Saturday night. When the entire student section is chanting together in Lynah Rink, you can’t help but feel proud of the school you chose to attend. </p>
<p>It might be intimidating coming all the way to upstate New York, but Ithaca is a bustling small city with plenty of things to do. I’ve never once been bored here! There’s Collegetown, where most of the upperclassmen live, that is full of fun restaurants (Collegetown Bagels is a necessity for all students), as well as the Commons with tons of interesting shops and vintage stores. Additionally, Cornell brings in a myriad of public speakers, comedians and musicians every semester (Nelly, Lupe Fiasco, K’Naan, MIA and Phoenix, to name a few), so its not even necessary to leave campus if you don’t want to.</p>
