<p>wow it sounds so beautiful</p>
<p>So beautiful… Love it</p>
<p>amazing…</p>
<p>Takes my breath away.</p>
<p>can’t believe i will be there next semester :)</p>
<p>nothing in there really caught me</p>
<p>lol maybe becuz u already experience everything there! hehe</p>
<p>I had no idea that Uris Library is one of the country’s largest. Maybe it’s because I spent half my time there sleeping…</p>
<p>stunning! sounds like an amazing intellectual vacation</p>
<p>Reading that makes me even more confident in my choice of Cornell over McGill :)</p>
<p>Oy…I miss New York.</p>
<p>Although…I’m still slightly anti-NYS after they based my NYS taxes on my NYS + Louisiana salary and I ended up owing the state money (and I made squat before I moved)…grrrrrrr.</p>
<p>just read another article by the New York Times called 36 hours in Ithaca and it also described the Cornell area as a liberal oasis full of brilliant people. Wasn’t quite sure but now I am 100 percent sure that I made the right choice in choosing Cornell over Upenn and Columbia. Go Big Red! Here I come!</p>
<p>Haha. I, as a southern conservative, am not particularly excited about the liberal part, but every good school up north is liberal so it’s not a big deal.</p>
<p>^
Coincidence…? 
</p>
<p>Ithaca’s really quirky - independent movie houses, world-renown local money system, local theatres, the only seat of the Dali Lama in N. America, world-renowned restaurants, great hiking through gorges and waterfalls, and the gorges flowing right through Cornell’s campus make the whole experience quite extraordinary.</p>
<p>Enjoy it for all it’s worth and plug your ears when Long Islanders start complaining about … well, whatever they complain about. I never really listened.</p>
<p>Haha. Oh I’m not opposed to liberalism or anything. I’m really pretty moderate. I mean I’m conservative, but a ton of my friends are liberals and I’m cool with it. I really don’t give a crap as long as you’re chill and fun to hang out with.</p>
<p>I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised to find Cornell possesses a strong mix of political views. One ideology certainly doesn’t dominate in the way it does many other campuses (due in large part to the pragmatic nature of many of its disciplines mixed with the liberal arts nature of others).</p>
<p>I mean, both Keith Olbermann and Ann Coulter went there. 'Nuff said.</p>
<p>This article makes me miss Cornell even more!</p>
<p>The location might be ideal if you plan on spending the summer there. Don’t fool yourself, Ithaca is known to be cold and grey. Personally, I would never want to spend 4 years of my life in Ithaca. Try enjoying the farmer’s market in January.</p>
<p>good point rrrsmom…the article was geared those who can afford a summer home (retirees, alum…)</p>
