Visit Information

We have a recommended list of area hotel accommodations in Mt. Vernon, Cedar Rapids, Iowa City and surrounding areas. Or, if you are looking for general maps, area information or directions to campus, click here.

We can tell you all about this extraordinary place and show you gorgeous photos of our wooded hilltop campus, but the best way to really understand Cornell College is to pay us a visit.

When you visit, you might sit in on a class and see how our One Course At A Time structure sparks insightful learning and thoughtful conversation. You might stay overnight and discover our warm, spirited campus community. You might wander around the beautiful town of Mount Vernon, checking out the vibrant local art scene while enjoying eclectic coffee shops and boutiques.

Whether you plan an individual visit or join us for a Preview Day, you’ll come away with a better idea of whether Cornell is the right place for you.

Can’t make it to campus? Then join us close to home at an off-campus event. We look forward to seeing you—on campus or off!
