rutgers vs. stevens. vs brown. vs cornell

<p>The nets were installed following a completely abnormal “cluster” of such incidents, which sadly is a known phenomenon. It occured around 2010, following four years with no such incidents whatsoever. The thing that skewed the long-term average is that recent cluster, not the longer period average itself. The nets were a particular response to that cluster, but are a good thing on balance anyway, anything that may help reduce incidents. However IMO the longer term perspective is appropriate here,and OP should not reasonably expect to find herself standing in line to go over a gorge bridge, is the bottom line. </p>

<p>None of the engineering classmates I knew took jobs in upstate New York. While it’s true that a number of upstate cities have suffered, unlike those cities, Ithaca is, and was, a college town dominated by the colleges there, not industry, and things there look very much the same as they did years ago. But I am repeating myself.</p>

<p>We all necessarily must reach some conclusions based on perceptions derived from drive-by information. But at the end of the day, people on an internet forum just have to decide for themselves who to believe.</p>

<p>In conclusion here are some pictures so readers can judge for themselves just how horrible and ugly it is there. </p>
