Read samples from the Syracuse University guide below:

Academics

“The teachers at Syracuse University are a mixed bag. Some teachers are excellent, while others are not so good. Overall, I would say that the teaching here is good. Most teachers are very helpful if you approach them. But there are a few of them, sadly,...”

Academics

Syracuse is a university of choices. SU has over 200 majors in nine undergraduate colleges, so you’re bound to find some that are agreeable.

However, Syracuse, like many other “diverse” universities, shows a distinct lack of social interaction between people of different backgrounds. Whether...

Guys & Girls

SU is notorious for its good-looking guys and girls, and it’s not just a stereotype. The main downfall of having so many attractive people at SU is that the weather causes their good looks to go to waste, buried beneath layers of clothing. It’s easy to meet people at Syracuse mainly due to its slightly larger than average student population. This way, you will always be meeting new people while still being able to keep in touch with the objects of last week’s affection. Some girls, however, tend to think...

Athletics

Sports in Syracuse (as a city) are huge. Syracuse is an Orange town through and through, and everywhere you go you will find support for the Orange. On the SU campus, the sentiment is not as pronounced. In the two major sports (football and basketball), SU students differ in their fanaticism. Football can draw some hardcore fans, and as most sports teams, some fair-weather fans. Basketball, however, brings out a unified, campus-wide pride. The successful 2002–2003 season might have had something to do with...
