I have a car, I'm not a student, and I use Ithaca Airport Limousine whenever I fly. It's much better than driving, especially if you are taking an early morning flight.. They pick you up at your house, and it's only a little more expensive than paying for gas and parking at the airport.

More
Big Red Shipping and Storage is a student run business in collegetown. It has grown tremendously in the past few years as a result of Cornell eliminating storage space for students in the dorms. Big Red Storage has a contract with Cornell and heavily advertises to students.
For students who live far away or those who don't want to lug their stuff back and forth between college and home, this is a very good option. The biggest advantage is that Big Red will send people to your apartment or dorm room to pick up the boxes of stuff you want to store. For those without a car, this is a huge benefit. In fact, even for those with a car, it saves the time and energy of having to carry heavy boxes to a storage facility.
Many of my friends have used their services and all have come away happy. The rates are competitive and the non-monetary benefits really make this one of the best options for storage in Ithaca.
For Cornell students looking to store your stuff, this is a good option and I would recommend at least putting them on your short list.

I eventually brought a car up to Cornell and did not need to use taxis, but before hand, I would occasionaly have to take taxis. Cayuga Taxi is one of the few choices for students. The prices are fairly good. The service is very variable depending on what time of day you go and what day of the week too. Weekend nights are tough especially if you are trying to get home from a party; however, usually it isn't too hard. Make sure you put on your seatbelt because some of the drivers tend to drive a tad fast, at least for my taste.

Greyhound buses are one of the few mass transportation methods to get home from Ithaca. I took the bus several times and my girlfriend took it up a bunch when she was in law school in New York City and wanted to come visit me.
The buses themselves are clean and comfortable. Leg roomis decent, although for those tall people, it might be a bit tight.
The great thing about Greyhound is that they have at least three buses leaving everyday to and from Ithaca. That gives people a lot of flexibility if they have to get somewhere.
The bus terminal is in downtown Ithaca, but the buses also stop in Collegetown and on North Campus in Cornell. Price is fair, although it isn't something you want to do every week. The trip from Ithaca to New York is probably around five and a half hours due to a stop in Binghamton.

The folks at this UPS Store have always been very helpful and friendly in getting even the most cumbersome things packed and shipped. It's also conveniently located on the west end of The Commons on the corner of State Street and Cayuga. You can also do excellent color copying, even with articles that need to be scaled to fit properly. This is the store I frequent most around Christmas time.

More
The Statler Hotel is literally located in the heart of the Cornell Campus; you step outside and you are in the middle of central campus. It is adjacent to the School of Hotel Administration and many of the "hotelies" work at the hotel.
The rooms are pretty standard and I was a bit disappointed when I saw them. I expected something a bit more luxurious, but there was certainly nothing about which to complain. The rooms were clean and comfortable.
The hotel also has a lounge and a restaurant which are quite good. The service that you get is high quality.
There are times of the year when you might be able to get a room, although during busy times like graduation and orientation, it is almost impossible.
Prices are a bit steep for what you get (about $200 a night) and unless you really need to be close, you might be better off looking for a hotel that is nearby and cheaper. Nonetheless, the Statler is a great hotel with a great location.

I've stayed at Wonderland Inn twice now. I was allowed to bring my dog, which was the reason for going to Ithaca. She had surgery at Cornell University. I found the Motel, clean, received towels, pillows, microwave, anything I asked for was provided. Also I received many calls from the hospital which were promptly transferred to my room. I have no complaints.
Pros: Pets Allowed, Good Parking, Close to Malls

While vacationing in Ithaca, my wife and I found this hotel to be convenient to everything we wanted to do and inexpensive. I was within walking distance of downtown and only a short drive to the Cayuaga Lake wine trail.
Pros: great location, great value
