<p>just don’t take cortland prices for granted. Summer in cortland may be a bit pricey as it is the summer training camp for the NY Jets. Of course if the NFL lockout continues, there may not be any football training camps this summer. They filmed the HBO (?) show “Hard Knocks” from cortland last year- so it is much more of a happening place than you might think.<br>
with an Applebees, Wal-Mart and a few very decent restaurants, Cortland has alot more going for it than many of the other SUNY towns-- think fredonia, Potsdam, Oswego (my alma mater).</p>
<p>Marian- I think you’re out of state. Now you know why so many of our NY kids would rather go to OOS schools like U Maryland and Delaware than the SUNY campuses.<br>
If you are not familiar with upstate NY, it takes a long while to learn to appreciate what it has to offer- including the finger lakes region, (Cortland is pretty close to skeaneatilis), erie canal, (took a boat ride and gone through the lock system) and just the history behind the Woman’s movement and the connection with upstate NY.
I am much more of a fan of upstate NY than I ever was- and I am sure it was the many trips to cortland and ithaca that give me the opportunity to learn more about the region. Now I am not ready to move upstate- but I have a better appreciation of the areas north of NYC.</p>
