Cornell University Athletics

Why Zhong Chose Cornell: Cornell offers a great range of disciplines and flexibilities to students like me, who have a very broad range of interests. I am excited to be surrounded by like-minded people in both academics and athletics. Also the Cornell Dairy Bar is my fav.
