来自纽约州伊萨卡的问候



Welcome to Ithaca, NY – Your New Hometown


Nestled in the heart of New York’s scenic Finger Lakes region, Ithaca is more than just a college town—it’s a vibrant, welcoming community celebrated for its natural beauty, cultural richness, and progressive spirit. Whether you're heading to Cornell University or Ithaca College, you'll find that Ithaca offers the perfect mix of academic excellence and off-campus adventure.


Nationally Recognized for Good Reason:

自然奇观与探索胜地：伊萨卡位于五指湖美国葡萄酒产区内，距离120多家酒庄仅需短暂车程，为学生提供周末探索华盛顿州最大葡萄酒产区的精彩体验。户外爱好者可以徒步穿越峡谷，在卡尤加湖上泛舟，或探索150多处瀑布，其中许多瀑布就在市区范围内。


A Smart, Growing Community:
With a metro population just over 100,000 (and growing), Ithaca’s economy is driven by education, healthcare, and innovation.
