I've actually been around Cornell once before when driving down to the NY state "fingers lakes".
I lived in Buffalo for a year before as an undergraduate. I was an exchange student from my home university in Wales, UK. After leaving I vowed and ambitioned to return to the SUNY Buffalo as a Ph.D student as I had the time of my life there and did excellent work there too. I am incredibly excited about not having to terminate my studies there after 10 months.
For the last 12 months I've been living in London, and now I am back home about 180 miles from London which is just music to my ears.
As long as I find something that does the same job as Fybogel, all will be well. The pizza in upstate NY is mighty tastey and I have the tendency to occasionally indulge

:D Brendan
