Come see Cornell!
ITH is often -- but not always -- on the list of AA reduced-mileage-award destinations if you hold a qualifying AA credit card: just 8,750 miles one way.
As a Cornell graduate myself (Arts ‘89), I second this! A great school, a very different environment than any of the other colleges you’re visiting, and a beautiful vacation spot to boot.
West Point is quite a different animal than any other schools on your list. You’re aware of this, right?
