I understand how you must feel...I just moved to Ithaca a month ago from NYC. It's ok, there is a fair amount to do. Lots of bars, art galleries, restraunts, and music venues. The weather and scenery is really nice during the summer, fall, and spring. Winter is terrible, but they clean the roads really well. I am sure you will be occupied with school work anyway.
Being that I have only been here for a month I still have not burned out all the local resources, so I guess ask me then -lol. Also, I am fortunate because my fiance is here going to school as well.
