All Cornellians’ experiences are shaped by the same historic Hilltop campus in Mount Vernon, Iowa, yet each of us finds meaning and memory in a different slice of this varied and beautiful setting.
Today’s students, asked to name their favorite place, chose a diverse array of locations old and new, indoors and out. Some selections will be instantly familiar to all of us, and some reflect the latest advances at Cornell. Their descriptions of the Hilltop demonstrate a powerful sense of place.
And while you're at it,
check out the favorite places of seven alumni, too.
