<p>yeah when I visited Cornell, I couldn't even use my T-mobile phone from the hotel that was only 3 miles away from the campus.</p>
<p>get verizon</p>
<p>"i know theres no airport, but i hope everything else necessary is in ithaca, like banks, chain restaurants, malls, courts, golf courses, bowling alleys, supermarkets, all that stuff. ithaca has all that stuff....RIGHT?"</p>
<p>there's an airport</p>
<p>there's plenty of banks</p>
<p>all of the chain restaurants you can think of</p>
<p>there's a mall w/ all of the chain stores and movie theaters, etc</p>
<p>there's several shopping centers as well</p>
<p>there's a golf course if you walk across a road from campus</p>
<p>there's a bowling alley on campus</p>
<p>the supermarket (wegmans) is among the best in the US - just ask anybody around.</p>
<p>I checked the mall online... they had like 10 stores including target... or something...</p>
<p>but I still love Cornell!!</p>
<p>to emoneydoemup:</p>
<p>Ithaca has asian food stores, though not terribly big or cheap. There's Winli by Wegmans, and another smaller one that I can't remember the name of by Pyramid Mall. There's also a Korean restaurant in collegetown, but I haven't heard too many positive things about it. Thai food is much more popular in Ithaca. Vietnamese and Mediterranean cuisines are definitely popular too. Chinese and Korean much less so. I don't know why. It just is.</p>
<p>All in all, there's nothing like mom's cooking. But I think everyone, regardless of ethnicity, will say that. If you need a fix, the certain dining halls (mainly appel) and the random asian restaurants in collegetown will solve that.</p>
<p>mall website, please?
:P</p>
<p>there's more than 10 stores at the mall, it's the averaged mid-sized mall and is rather large for the area.</p>
<p>alamode: Google does exist</p>
