Please note also that many lots are restricted from 5:00 until 10:00 pm. If you are planning an evening information session, check with the group sponsoring your session for best parking locations.

Many employers find Cornell's Statler Hotel to be especially convenient when they visit campus. The Statler provides transportation to and from the Ithaca airport.

Other accommodations?both in national chains and in local facilities including bed and breakfasts?are available nearby. Information is maintained by the Ithaca Tompkins Convention and Visitors Bureau.

Dining
If you would like to have lunch on campus, your career office can give you specific information. Ithaca has a wide variety of restaurants, both downtown and in Collegetown, the business district near the Cornell campus.

Campus Maps
Downloadable campus maps are available, and you can also pick one up at the visitor information booths at the edges of the main campus.

Ithaca Weather
There's an old saying that "If you don't like the weather in Ithaca, just wait 5 minutes and it will change!" Still, you might want to be prepared with a preview of what to expect when you're here.
