I was just wondering if anyone is/has gone to either of these schools. I've narrowed my selections down to these two schools and I can't make a desicion. They both fit me really well. I got a 5k scholarship to Scranton, and it's 4k cheaper than Ithaca, so that definetly plays into the desicion. Also, both have skiing, but Scranton's is definetly better.

Dunno much about scranton, but Ithaca is a real good school, especially depending on what you want to study.

I live in Ithaca, and here's a quick few things I'll mention:
I'm pretty sure you'd like Ithaca as a town way better than Scranton. Ithaca is IMO perhaps one of the nicest towns in the country. However, the skiing around here is mediocre at best. Greek Peak is the closest hill, about 25 minutes away, but it's pretty shit. Labrador and Toggenburg are both about an hour, and they're smaller but have far nicer parks. Greek Peak is pretty sweet if you like rails though.

I've visited both schools, and Ithaca has a nicer town. Scranton ain't bad either though. Both of these schools are so equal for me. They are both A's. I just need to find the A+

I'm gonna make a desicion within the next two weeks. Can you ask her how she likes and and what she doesn't like? You'd be a friend forever!

I'm from NEPA so I have a bunch of friends that go to Scranton and love it. its pretty small, and scranton's not the greatest/craziest city in the world, but I've partied there a bunch over the years and always have a really fun time. Also, haven't been to any of the mountains around there this year but there's definitely a bunch of options, Sno is like 5 minutes away and then there's Big Boulder, Camelback, Elk.... buuuut Ithaca is a dope town too, so good luck with your decision!

one of my best friends goes to ithaca and he's the fucking man... maybe if you go to ithaca you'll be the fucking man.
on a more serious note he's told me that he loves the school and ithaca is a good place to be for a college student, its also a pretty good school academically. I dont know anything about scranton but that in itself might tell you whats the better school. It really comes down to where you can see yourself living for the next 4 years, you want to go to the school that feels like you could call home (because you will, just wait).

Ithaca has a beautiful town, with a very young college age fun mood
you should do more research, and don't listen to others opinions just their info
