Yesterday was our final school tour: Cornell Law School. We drove 6 hours from Boston to Ithaca, New York, and boy was that a drive. The last hour was ALL back roads, with beautiful views, but very little going on. It wasn't until we were about 3 minutes from the school that we started to see any life; it sort of appeared out of nowhere. Once we got into the city, it felt a little more lively, as it is actually the size of Ann Arbor, approximately, but it sure is far more secluded than Ann Arbor! We were able to speak with the secretary in the office here rather than an advisor, and for that reason I don't think we got quite as much information as we wanted. But we went on our self-guided tour and found their Squash Courts (SO important, haha) and a homey little study space. The Moot Court was fairly impressive, but overall the campus just felt too secluded. Maybe it was partly because it was summer, but we felt that every other school had a lot more energy than this school did.
And so now, today, we are home. We drove through wine country and stopped to let the boys do some tasting along the way. Dinner was in Buffalo, NY, where we tried the original buffalo chicken wing. Jimmy's is WAY better. Then we continued through Canada to see Niagara Falls and finally made it home around 2am. It was an incredible trip with lots of laughs and lots of information; now we just have to sort it all out and start applying! Thanks for traveling with us. :D
