collegetown is such a cute town. especially the waterfalls just minutes from campus, just add a serene feeling that you cant find anywhere else.

The area immediately surrounding the campus is nice and cozy. Go to Collegetown Bagels and of course Starbucks.

Collegetown was a lot of fun and is really just an extension of campus. There are lots of restaurants and the streets are packed with kids.

Very rural, beautiful area. Weather changes quickly, so be prepared for anything. Wear comfy shoes - you'll be walking and climbing, but it's worth every step.

The area right around campus is gorgeous. The finger lakes are the highlight, in my opinion.

Really pretty, but there isn't very much to do other than eat.

There is not much to do in the immediate area, and only a few decent restaurants. Student community is somewhat underserved.

ithaca is a cute town, there's enough there to meet your needs but also not too much - cornell definitely has a strong sense of campus community, because there isn't much to do outside.

Very cute town. Even some of the sketch local people we ran into on the streets were very nice.

It wasn't NYC, but there was enough to do when you do want to get off campus.

Its not going to have as many things to do like New York City, but its not a desolate farmland either. Collegetown is one of the more popular places for people to go off campus.
