Cornell

This morning we walked around Cornell University in Ithaca New York. It was a very beautiful campus. Fall seemed to linger there longer than the rest of the state. Red and yellow trees littered the campus. The first building we went in was the Law Building. I swear this building was like the castle of Hogwarts. There was a common area with a fireplace and paintings hung on the wall, they didn't move like I'd hoped. One of the various libraries had a staircase in it leading to an office. It was a very cool, very old building.

We went up the bell tower just in time for a show. There was a student playing the bells on an elaborate piano like structure. It was pretty loud at the top, but there was an incredible view of the surrounding area. There's a beautiful lake, Cornell is on top of a hill.

We crossed a bridge over one of the rivers that runs through the campus and there was a decently sized waterfall. Over the river we saw the female residence hall which is very near the river. The campus is very big with a lot of hills. It would definitely be a pretty place to go to school. The only problem is that the town is pretty small and fairly secluded. Its about 4 hours away from New York City.
