I might be biased, but Cornell from its motto like basically everybody should have access to…read moreeducation. It's beautiful, gorgeous as they say in Ithaca they have such a variety of programs they offer. The campus is beautiful. It's up all these cascading hills with waterfalls breaking through the campus in two spots. There's a combination of modern buildings with Panik views. Collegetown has some great restaurants actually some of the better restaurants in the city of Ithaca are in Collegetown they like make your own bento and some hot pot places and a variety of other cuisines, but cool old architecture, vine covered buildings there's so much to experience in and learn at Cornell. Dictated but not read. Lol

Well, since this is here, I better give my 2 cents. I am an extremely proud graduate of this…read moreawesome university ( recent politics aside).... Founded by Ezra Cornell in 1865, it contains 7 colleges, 4 which are land grant/ NY state subsidized (SUNY, or State University of New York).( College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, College of Human Ecology, Industrial and Labor Relations, and College of Veterinary Medicine)College of Arts and Sciences, College of Engineering, College of Architecture, Art and Planning. Photos are from today. Cornell has the most beautiful, or gorges campus ( Ithaca is gorges)... built over a few gorges with safety nets and bars to prevent the stress of academic life from making drastic decisions ( sad but true). Each quad is unity and has its own feel, and there are several newer buildings, not all consistent with the original beautiful architecture. No visit here would be complete without visits to Uris Library's President AD White Library, McGraw Tower, the terrace overlooking campus and Cayuga Lake from Willard Straight Hall, Sage Chapel, the Law School's Annabel Taylor Hall, Beebe Lake, Lynah Rink... you get it. Only 10 photos on these reviews....

My daughter goes here. This is by far one of the most dysfunctional schools I've ever seen. Small…read moreexample. Mice in day on campus had landscaping trucks blocking half the roads. Meals plans make no sense, class schedules are very challenging to arrange etc etc. on top of that the cost is at the very top of the norm which makes it even more frustrating.

Met the best people, ate some great food, partied waaayyy too hard and learned from some of the best professors. The Writing Department is unbeatable. Would kill for a Senior Seminar redo. Go to Ithaca. It will be absolutely everything you could want from a college experience.

As we have begun checking out college campuses for our son we keep stopping at places that are kind…read moreof on the routes we are already traveling when we can. Ithaca College was a little off the beaten path for us on our way up to the University of Rochester where we were going to see our daughter play field hockey, but we knew people who went there and loved it so we checked it out. Ithaca has a great campus and the town is awesome, but I'm not convinced this is going to be high on the boy's list. I don't know what it was, maybe because it felt like it was in the middle of nowhere, or maybe it was the simple lack of students walking around that day...who knows. The people at the admissions welcome desk were awesome and took the time to talk to my son instead of just us. I guess time will tell...

Not a very safe school…read more I had gun put to my head was robbed on campus. An arrest was made because I charged the gun. In addition my room was raided for bombs and only keys to the other rooms in east tower were retrieved. If safety is your priority go elsewhere.

I came to Cornell University to see my nephew's graduation!!…read more Located in the city of Ithaca, New York, he actually had two graduations, one indoors in the basketball arena, and the next day outside on the football field. We ate here in a very nice restaurant in the Statler Hotel on campus after the graduation on the first day. He also showed us the statue of Ezra Cornell, and explained the rich history here. This campus is on a hill, so you get some good views up here. It's also a very well kept place. He definitely enjoyed his time attending this prestigious university!!

Cornell is "gorges" (gorgeous)! What a beautiful campus. Came here a few months back on an Upstate…read moreNY trip and swung by Cornell. Beautiful views of Lake Cayuga, plenty of gorges/ravines with free-running water, lush plant life/vegetation, and beautiful architecture - that basically sums of Cornell! Lots to see on campus. Some of my favorite campus highlights are the Dairy Barn, Lab of Ornithology, the Arts Quad, the Uris Library, and the clock tower. One thing I learned about the clock tower is that there are actual chimesmasters who play the music in the clock tower who play at various times in the day. Absolutely amazing! Cornell reminded me a lot of UC Davis (where I went for school)- except a much more hilly version with more history. I did like the laid back atmosphere of the school, which reminded me of my undergrad days. And as a note, if you plan to drive here - there are plenty of parking lots where you can park your car. Parking is hourly, and more expensive in central campus. If you don't mind walking, you can park in a lot that's a little bit farther from the main sights (e.g. maybe a 5-10 min walk to where you might need to get to). Parking is also free after a certain hour - which depends on where you park. Make sure to double check the parking restrictions.
