Our daughter proudly attends Cornell. It is one of the best Universities in the country and she is getting a fantastic education.
The campus of Cornell University has so much to offer, in addition to being absolutely beautiful...there are world-reknowned botanical gardens...perfect for strolling and photography...an amazing bookstore...several cool places to dine...a great museum...architecture you don't see often...Vistas and views that will astound you...especially from Libe Slope. Great birdwatching areas as well. A huge student population studying everything from liberal arts to business to art to architecture to engineering to all the sciences and to graduate programs in just about everything...masters and Phd programs in many areas. My son is in the Phd program for biomedical sciences. His roommate is in the law school. The medical school is located in NYC. The Cornell campus is full of life and the hustle and bustle of a small city...yet located in a rural section of Ithaca. A beautiful campus with natural resources, nature, gorgeous architecture, and unlimited photo opportunities. They offer several types of tours...guided walking tours, freshman tours, and even several special tours...historical tours and even private tours for a modest fee. If you have an opportunity to be on this amazing Ivy League campus...definitely take advantage...it might take the better part of two days, but you will thoroughly enjoy and love it.
Truly one of theosr special places I havecever been. From beauty to genius to AWE! So glad my family has gotten to be part of thus world education leader. Just incredible
Aside from the formal reasons of visiting, you should try their Cornell ice cream, Cornell maple syrup and of course their fresh milk. Available at the cafeterias around campus.Don't forget to try their hotel too. Great cuisine !
This is a spectacular campus with incredible architecture. Make sure you stop by Uris Library and the White reading room - it's as if you stepped into a Harry Potter movie!
Prettiest campus in a very compact and liveable town. Comfortable, friendly, and historic.Activities galore. A city unto itself.
There are numerous things to do on the beautiful campus at various times of the year. It is a lovely place to walk and explore. An impressive college area.
We loved exploring the Cornell campus. The bookstore is great (though a little expensive for titled products) and the foliage was spectacular, even late Oct. early Nov. The waterfalls are so unique and beautiful.
Very large and impressive looking university sits atop one of the big (if not the biggest) hill in Ithaca. I can't think of anything that really stands out about it other than that it looks very well-maintained. Cornell graduates of course love Cornell and Ithaca.The undergraduate admissions information session was very rushed compared to Penn's and Columbia's presentations. The speaker seemed to have more information to present than time to present it. A different pace may have offered people brains a chance to catch up and ask better questions. The Powerpoint slides had Fall 2013 information instead of Fall 2014.The student guided tour was very good.
Cornell has an amazing campus. If you can afford to go there all the power to you. I was lucky enough to be visiting for the NYS track championships. Parking is not the easiest there. Make sure you go to the dairy bar and get some ice cream!
