The City of Ithaca sits on the southern shore of Cayuga Lake, in Central New York State. It is best known for being home to Cornell University - an Ivy League school with almost 20,000 students. While Ithaca College is located just south of the city in the Town of Ithaca, the college is strongly linked to the city further adding to Ithaca’s strong “college town” focus and atmosphere.
