Cornell University Athletics

Why Peel Chose Cornell: I chose Cornell University because I love how I am able to take classes about all of my different interests in the College of Arts and Sciences and don't have to limit myself to one discipline. Also, when I went up to visit campus, I felt so welcomed and like I was already a part of the team as everyone was so kind and understanding.
