I haven't been to Ithaca in 20 years but I used to visit twice a month for a few years. I always thought it was a cool little town. I have great memories from there and agree that people were cool there. I still have a soft spot in my heart when I think of my time there. It also had a great little music scene, decent bars, coffee shops, and housing was reasonable. It's got the lake right there and easy access to hiking and biking trails. Ithaca College really balances out Cornell's presence well and creates a good mix of people. Not sure what it's like now but I can see how the quality of life would be high there.

I moved away from Ithaca about 2 years ago and lived there for a year. It's still pretty cool. My main reason for leaving had less to do with the vibe and more to do with the job market and the fact that all of my college / high school friends and some of my family were in NYC. It has very limited opportunities, but I feel like it's a good place to move to if you're further along in your career. Also seems like a good place to raise kids. Not sure if I'd go back but it's definitely up there on the best places I've lived list.
