 LOCATION:

The IEP is part of Cornell University, and students participate in campus life and activities. The university is located in Ithaca, New York, a small, pleasant, and surprisingly cosmopolitan city of 29,000 in the heart of the New State's Finger Lakes region. This is an area of great natural beauty. The university and community also offer cultural activities usually available only in much larger cities. Ithaca combines small-town convenience and security with large-city atmosphere.
