I have been to Ithaca numerous times - fairly recently too. I have a strong opinion on it. Coming from California I find it a horrible place. There isn't a good restaurant in the whole town. It is small, very isolated and has crap weather. We are talking no leaves and cold for a felt 8 months out of the year. Flying into it will be harder than into London. Campus life may be okay, but don't attempt to get off campus and experience much but countryside and country folks. Only thing that must be good is deer hunting.

My choice, would be Oxford UK. Mix it up a little, assuming that she already has time under her belt in Northern America. AUS may be interesting too, but I do think Oxford UK will be the better address academically.

Cheers,
