Cornell University is full of the unexpected. An impressive, traditional college campus whose architecture is usurped by its surrounding natural beauty. A privately endowed research university and a partner of the State University of New York. A federal land grant institution and an Ivy League University. It’s all in the revolutionary spirit which founded Cornell University in 1865. Cornell encourages the pursuit of unpredicted lines of thinking in order to effect change on local and international scales, while prioritizing public engagement. A variety of apartments, townhomes, and houses are all available for rent near Cornell. Neighborhoods convenient to campus include Collegetown, Ithaca Commons, and Cayuga Heights. You can visit the Cornell Botanic Gardens, Johnson Museum of Art, and Schwartz Center for the Performing Arts while you’re on campus.
