“​​My first impression of the Cornell campus is that it is very big and beautiful, with trees and grassy fields everywhere you go. Cornell is originally an agricultural school, so Cornell has its own diary farms (Cornell makes its own ice cream!), grazing areas for horses and sheep, and fruit orchards.”
Katie Lin, Past SAF Student
