Syracuse University Top Questions

My classmates came from all over the country and world. Growing up, I went to Catholic school Pre-Kindergarten through twelfth grade. I went to an all-girls school for high school. That is why it was important for me to go to a large school and be able to meet different people. The first thing I noticed at Syracuse University was the diversity of the student population. There were so many different cultures, creeds and ethnicities. As I became friends with diverse classmates, it deepened my culture understanding of other peoples.

I have a variety of different classmates. Some attend every class, pay attention and take notes. Others come in late or not at all and goof off the whole time.

My classmates are young and eager to learn about a life they have yet to live.

There are a lot of sorority/fraternity people who can be ditzy or blockheaded, but overall there is a lot of variety that includes students from all different countries, very free spirited and artsy students, athletic people, really smart people, and people that make you wonder how they got in.

My classmates are dedicated people who exceed the expectations of our profesors.

My classmates are focused on dedicated to their studies, and are not afraid to help others out when they are struggling.

My classmates seem focused and driven, wanting to succeed in each of their classes.

My classmates are very diverse in cultural backgrounds as well as in their desire to earn good grades (some don't seem to care as much as others).

The majority of them are very driven and passionate about what they are studying so they tend to be well organized and professional when they need to be; they are smart and creative if they put their mind to it, which makes for interesting lessons because people are always willing to contribute to discussions and talk about their own experiences or perspectives - however, there tends to be a hint of pretentiousness about them, which I don't think is necessarily a bad thing as it creates a competitive environment and allows us to continually push each other.

Since I am a Freshmen, I describe my classmates as lost, immature, struggling, and trying to have fun.
