> How is Cornell Tech's campus doing at Roosevelt Island, NYC?

I dunno, but every time I head over to that end of the island it seems pretty dead. There is the Graduate Hotel with the swanky Panorama Room bar on top that’s fun to visit (watch seaplanes land every half hour some days), the fancy cafe is open, there’s nice open plazas between buildings, it connects to the park overlooking the river (and FDR memorial beyond) … but it’s all so empty. I can’t imagine it’s operating at normal capacity.

North end is better anyway ;)

That's a shame. It's a great location. Near Manhattan, but it has that 'other' feeling, but maybe that's me. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, and RI was always 'other'!
