there are a lot of opportunities that
0:05
Cornell offers to its students to help
0:08
pursue their career interests but I
0:10
chose to go to Washington DC it feels
0:12
like you are still at Cornell even
0:16
though you're in DC it's a great
0:18
opportunity to really not only take
0:20
classes but also gain some professional
0:22
experience and delve deeper into your
0:24
own interests and insights there are so
0:26
many opportunities in DC you can really
0:27
find anything I interned in Capitol Hill
0:30
when I saw a different political figures
0:32
that I recognized it was always kind of
0:34
I was starstruck when I saw them working
0:36
at ABC News really helped me decide
0:38
where I want to go with my career not
0:40
only do I have this wonderful education
0:41
but I have this professional experience
0:43
to match it as well having these kinds
0:45
of connections can really give you a leg
0:47
up when you're looking for a job I
0:49
actually lived close enough to my
0:52
internships where I could walk do you
0:53
live in Dupont which is a very nice area
0:55
and it's very close to the White House
0:57
to the Capitol so you're kind of in the
0:59
center of things it's so small there are
1:01
only 60 people in the program you're all
1:03
living under the same roof part of what
1:05
also made the program so great are the
1:07
professor's I don't think I've ever met
1:09
a professor as cordial down-to-earth and
1:12
friendly as professor sylvie to hear
1:14
from someone who's like inside the
1:16
beltway you know exactly what's
1:18
happening and to kind of hear the little
1:20
whispers and little rumors from someone
1:22
who's there day to day it makes it all
1:25
so much more real everyone is just so
1:28
smart and so dedicated to what they're
1:30
interested in I think it was just such a
1:32
well-rounded experience for me it was
1:35
the best experience I had while at
1:37
Cornell if people are kind of wondering
1:39
whether they should do it I highly
1:41
recommend it because I had a great time
1:42
Cornell the Washington program was a
1:43
godsend it was perfect for me I would
1:46
say it was wonderful insightful
1:49
transformative ineffable okay I'll
1:51
change my word to interesting fulfilling
1:53
worthwhile definitely cliche but
1:55
absolutely wonderful
