What is Cornell University like?
Cornell University is an Ivy League institution with rich academic offerings in the sciences, arts, humanities, and social sciences. Cornell’s campus may well be the most beautiful campus in the country. Ezra Cornell certainly thought the spot was special when he gave his hilltop farm to the university he founded in 1865. Sitting atop a hill overlooking the city of Ithaca, the surrounding communities, and the southern tip of Cayuga lake, the campus has a landscape rich in natural beauty, including the two gorges with numerous waterfalls running through the campus.
