Cornell is literally built on top of a hill in a very rural area. For those who are from "the city", Ithaca NY may be very isolated and isolating. I grew up in Upstate NY and in the fingerlakes region. Ithaca wasn't as much of a shock geographically for me. But, it was still a culture shock because of the sheer # of students in a university. It is easy to get lost in the crowd. Jane Hi Joseon,

I visited Cornell and could see how difficult it could be for Asian-Americans there. Most Asian-Americans are from diverse metropolitan areas and moving to a place like Ithaca, New York can be a total culture shock to many. Thanks for the post and links.
