Cornell University Law School Brochure - (Page 12) Study at a Cosmopolitan University in a Beautiful Setting Plenty to see, plenty to do If you’re looking for something to do in Ithaca, you won’t have to look far. Our political and intellectual community attracts some of the most well-known names in music: Ludacris, Snoop Dogg, Cake, Bob Dylan, B.B. King, Moby, and the Juilliard String Quartet have all made recent tour stops here. Or enjoy a lecture by some of today’s hottest names in cultural, political, and popular thought—like Kevin Smith, Maya Angelou, Hillary Clinton, Sandy Berger, Janet Reno, Tobias Wolff, Karen Armstrong, Jon Stewart, and Bill Nye, to name just a few. On campus Myron Taylor Hall, home to the Law School, is one of Cornell’s most impressive Gothic complexes, with lecture, seminar, and conference rooms; the Law Library; a moot court auditorium; a four-story atrium; and many amenities. Cornell University overlooks Cayuga Lake, and many gorges and waterfalls are just steps from campus. As the largest Ivy League university, the 745-acre campus comprises six graduate and professional schools and seven undergraduate colleges. The Law School benefits from its close association with the university’s research and instructional facilities. 16 Out and about Sample the local produce at the Farmers Market, browse eclectic gifts or used books on the Commons, or shop department stores at the area malls. Hike eight miles north to Taughannock Falls, the tallest waterfall in the northeast, or any of the area’s countless other waterfalls and parks. Explore Collegetown’s ethnic restaurants, nightclubs, bars, jazz venues, CD stores, pizzerias—all just steps from campus. Visit one of the area’s 80+ wineries, or make a stop at the Ithaca Beer Company or Bellwether Hard Cider. Housing options More than one-quarter of all first-year students opt to live in Hughes Hall, the Law School residence adjacent to Myron Taylor Hall. Living on campus means an easy commute to classes (just down the hall) and all-hours access to the Law Library and its extensive resources. Or, take advantage of the university-operated housing, private homes, apartments, and cooperatives in Ithaca.
