Ithaca is a cute mini city and Cornell is really a nice place to work. They pay grad students well. Personally, I find the work-life balance great and I love it there. Hard working but not high stress. Good culture

Pros
Graduate student stipend and benefits afford good lifestyle in Ithaca. High quality researchers and labs available. World class libraries and subscriptions to journals and services.
Cons
Very poor career development resources overall, especially for Ph.D. students seeking non-academic career tracks. Remote location makes travel for research or other purposes difficult.
- Current Employee, more than 10 years★★★★★
Pros
The campus is one of the most beautiful in the world so it's a pleasant environment. Many students are brilliant and fun to work with.
Cons
The location is isolated so big entertainment names don't come through like they used to, and travelling anywhere is harder than it is from a big city. Many people in Ithaca are underempolyed and salaries are lower than in industry or larger cities.
