If it weren't for housing Ithaca College and Cornell, Ithaca would not be nearly so progressive and more akin to other upstate ny towns.
Well, sure. If Ithaca wasn't what it is, it would be something else. :)

I grew up in Ithaca, and it's not like a lot of Update NY. It's got multiple colleges, including Cornell, a global-tier research University. Meanwhile the rest of upstate is a lot poorer.
Great for a college student -- cheap housing and good local booze. Hanging out on the Ithaca Commons was great, and the gaming stores (like Magic Cards, D&D) were awesome.
I recently read that a tourism survey here found that 20% of the visitors are in that classification, some four times the national average.
