Cornell sits there as well as Ithaca college....
its not the worse of the worse.....
Indeed, Ithaca is in a very nice setting. I know it well.
All the debt-fed, ivory-tower, self-reinforcing leftist echo-chamber academics do have an effect on the place though.
I just pay little-to-no mind to the students, radical leftists, and other assorted crazies. There are plenty of good, normal people to work and play with.
And if you don't like the weather, wait a few minutes...
