Actually Cornell is ~4 hours away and is making a push to open a 'tech campus' in NYC proper: http://www.news.cornell.edu/stories/March11/NYCTechCampus.html ht

  True. I keep forgetting Cornell exists. The lack of good public schools is still an issue I think. The major tech corridors (bay area, research triangle, seattle/portland, northern VA) are all close to top-notch state engineering schools. I worked at a startup in northern Virginia and definitely noticed that having Virginia Tech right there was a great benefit as we grew. I think that's a huge weak-spot for NYC.
