“Love my time at Cornell BFA! I have met many wonderful faculties and had many life changing and memorable conversations. Unfortunately I had to change my major due to the fact that it is impossible to find a job, and the curriculum is not as rigorous as I expected :( but highly recommend it to everyone else! If you are more interested in your own character development and meeting wonderful people!”
