[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Alumni here - I came from DC to attend and the weather was back breaking. This was years ago but it was grey for months on end and there was lake effect snow constantly.

I would never recommend it. If you seriously are considering it, fly on up in Jan/Feb and spend a few days!

Ithaca is 100x as nice in the area around Cornell, there is nothing around Rochester in walking distance. [/quote]

See, we visited Cornell and my kid hated it.  The area is isolated in middle of nowhere.  Campus is huge.  Then we drove onto Rochester and my kids loves it.  Sure, the campus at UR is "almost self contained", but it's not in the middle of nowhere.  Rochester is a decent sized city and has a lot to offer.  Oh and the airport is only 2 miles from campus and has many flights per day to many cities.  
Ithaca airport has 2 flights to JFK and 2 Flights to Newark per day.  That is it.

ROC has over 40 flights departing each day (and same number of arrivals).

You don't need things within walking distance, easy to walk to College town or take the campus bus there.  Also can take a bus to Eastman and land yourself in downtown Roc.  But also simple to take a $10 uber ride to wherever you want to go with your friends.
