<p>I live in Long Island, and for the spring break, I was thinking about going over to the Cornell area for college visits. Cornell is my reach school, so I want to see what it's like over there. But what other good schools are near that area? Because I don't want to go all the way to Ithaca just to see Cornell...
And I'll be majoring in electrical or chemical engineering, so can you recommend me some schools that have strong engineering system near that area other than Cornell?</p>
<p>Ithaca College is in the same city, but I don’t know about engineering there</p>
<p>What other colleges are there? I think SUNY binghamton is there too… but I want to visit more high level colleges!</p>
<p>Hamilton and Colgate are somewhat near. There must be a route that would take in Connecticut schools like Trinity and Wesleyan and maybe Vassar too. University of Rochester maybe? it depends what you want in your slightly less reach schools.</p>
<p>Syracuse is less than an hour away (not sure about engineering), Rochester is perhaps an hour and a half, and you could go through the Albany area (RPI, Union) on your way home.</p>
