Cornell University is located in Ithaca, New York, at the southern end of Cayuga Lake. Natural wonders abound in Ithaca, and there are several on-campus waterfalls. The Cornell Botanical Garden is just steps from the lab. It's a great place for those that enjoy hiking, camping, sailing, skiing, etc.

There is also a campus-to-campus bus that connects Cornell with the Weill-Cornell medical campus in NYC. Buses run between the Cornell Campus and mid-town Manhattan.
