The Scene
Cornell sits on a hill above the gorges, Ithaca College on a hill across town. ~25,000 students in a town of ~30k — the student:resident ratio is famously high. 'Ithaca is gorges.'
Small, progressive, gorge-filled upstate NY town. Brutal long winters (gray from November to April), spectacular summers. Isolated — nearest airport is Syracuse, an hour away.
