Review:

Cornell University is a handsome Ivy League school in Ithaca and one of the town’s top attractions. Sprawled over 300 acres on a hill above the city, the university was founded in 1865 by Ezra Cornell and Andrew Dickson White and is organized into seven undergraduate colleges and seven graduate divisions. The university is home to the Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art, which boasts an impressive collection of over 30,000 works of art, including prints, photographs, and Asian Art. Other attractions at the university include the McGraw Tower, which is known for its traditional Cornell Chimes; and the Newman Arboretum, which specializes in trees and shrubs endemic to New York State.
