I grew up in Dryden, and through Cornell and Ithaca College, I now have friends and connections all over the planet. It's a very homely place to grow up while still being well connected. The work environments are interesting: there are many small and start-up companies due to the colleges, but relatively few large businesses due to those same colleges. It also has a delicate balance between political conservatism and liberalism due to it's college-town reputation surrounded by rural upstate New York.
I find Dryden to be a quite charming little town. Many of the people who live here are very nice. There aren't that many activities located in Dryden compared to other places but it is a nice place to live!
Dryden is an okay little town. I went to the community college (TC3), worked nearby at a juvenile detention facility and lived there.
So, it isn't a "college town", there's one or two decent small town bars. As far as groceries, there is a local market with higher prices but okay selection.
Overall I found myself making the drive to either Cortland or Ithaca for errands since Dryden's main attraction is their McDonald's.
Now, I had a vehicle and had my own place so this was okay. A lot of my friends that lived in the TC3 dorms had to depend on bus rides or friends to get to the nearest Walmart, or had to hike down to the local market.
In general it is relatively quiet and uneventful place to live.
