[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We hit upstate NY and visited Ithaca, Cornell and Syracuse. My DC won't get into Cornell, but wanted to see it, and did really love it. Also really liked Syracuse, and will consider Ithaca as a safety. Considering some sort of media-related major. [/quote]

Any more details on the Syracuse and Ithaca campuses and impressions from tours?[/quote]

Syracuse is beautiful -- kind of a quintessential college with beautiful buildings. We focused on the Newhouse school, which is top-notch, but the university as a whole seemed great. Lots of friendly kids. Pretty diverse student body. Dorms are scattered around the outer edge of campus. They were a little dated, but not terrible. Greek houses were beautiful, though I'm not sure my DC will go that route. We had delicious pizza off campus after the tour.

Ithaca isn't as pretty architecturally, but you have gorgeous views of one of the Finger Lakes. Their communications school is tiny by comparison, but seemed to have good internship possibilities and opportunities for connection. It has more of an artsy vibe than Syracuse. Was trying to get a sense of whether non-music majors can participate in performance groups, and I'm not sure -- there are so many kids who are highly focused on that. But we liked it! [/quote]
