Child care is limited and quite costly here. Please let us know as soon as possible if you will be bringing young children with you. IGD does not give financial support for childcare, you will need to cover this expense. More information: Day Care & Child Development Council
Housing can be difficult to find and expensive depending on the time of year and length of your visit. We have an IGD apartment that may be available. Some other options are listed here. For short-term visits, summer (June-August) is a much less expensive time to visit as many sublets are available. We will work with you to find the best option for your visit.
The weather in Ithaca is highly variable. Summers are warm, but winters require a warm coat, hat, gloves, and boots. More information including the current weather is here.
International visitors should contact Dianna Steiner (dle1@cornell.edu) for information about visa requirements. Also see the Cornell Office of International Students and Scholars for more information.
