West Campus is a great place to be living. As a transfer student to Cornell, I feel extremely lucky to have gotten a spot in one of the main buildings of West Campus. However, what is most interesting to me is to how receptive this campus is to the suggestions and ideas of students. As I attended the West Campus design event, it was interesting to see how students are pitching their ideas of how they want West Campus to be in the future. Because West Campus has become a second home to be in a short span of time, this event was a must-attend.

Coming from a public school, I noticed a stark difference in the ways that Cornell can make the lives of its students better. Of course, this is reflected in the premium tuition that we pay, but it is surprising to see the resources and receptiveness of the campus to the needs of students. It is such a rare thing to find where the students can effect change on their landscape, and by putting stickers on what I want to see on the future West Campus, I was trying to support that efforts of those that want to make our campus living spaces nicer.
