Syracuse University is unique in so many ways. Since it is a large school with many different departments, I was able to take classes I had never even considered. That includes classes abroad. The Study Abroad program at Syracuse University was amazing. There were so many different places I could go and classes I could take.

I love how Syracuse has the feel of a small-town Univesity, but it's plopped right in the middle of a big city! Even though there are many, many students, Syracuse University really feels like home.

What is certainly unique about Syracuse University is the weather. Learning how to walk downhill in snow or thin ice is what makes my weekly routine interesting. But, the weather is just one part of the reason I chose Syracuse as my future alma mater. I considered Iowa State, Penn State and Rutgers. I got accepted to all. The reason I am in Syracuse University is because it allowed me to fulfill my future plans of becoming a physicist and a painter. Out of those universities I mentioned Syracuse allows me to combine those two majors.

The reason for which I chose Syracuse University over the other colleges to which I was accepted was for the S.I. Newhouse School of Communications, which is one of the top communications schools in the world. Since I want to study broadcast journalism, I wanted to go to the school that would help me the most in what I want to do.

The diversity in both academics and cultures is most unique. The sheer amount of opportunities that students have here as Syracuse is unbelievable. From skiing in the winter to Otto Orientation to greek life to yoga classes, Syracuse has it all. People here come from all sorts of different backgrounds and cultures. It's always fun to try some of your dormmate's cultural foods! Academically, Syracuse offers a wide range of majors and minors which can be catered according to your interest.

Syracuse University is for students who want to attend a school where it's not too big and not too small; when you walk across campus, you will see people you recognize and people you have never seen before.

Also, there are many facilities that can be used for studying and working.

Parents and students must realize and understand that SU has changed. Parents must understand that their hard earned money for tuition ($250K over 4 years) is not going just for “education” anymore. It is used as a platform for the SU's liberal leaders to push their agendas, policies, propaganda, political objectives and indoctrinate students.

The culture of the school is much different than the other schools I considered. Syracuse Univeristy is located on a hill so it is mostly isolated from the rest of the city. There are lots of school activities, events, and ways to get involved with the school. The value of Syracuse sports is important. Basketball for example, brings students and othes from the community together to cheer on the city and school.

The unique thing about my school that I would not have found at any other school are the friends I've made. My roommates are two of the greatest people I have ever met. I would have made friends at other schools, but I always remind myself that only here would we have met each other.

The unique aspect of Sryacuse compared to the other schools I considered, is the wide selection of courses. Not only are SU students able to take classes within the several schools of the university, but also courses from the neighboring schools, such as SUNY Environmental Science and Forestry. The beauty of colleg is being able to take the courses you want to take, and nothing is better than having a number of courses to choose from.

Lastly, the school is unique in that it gives students opportunities that are rarely found elsewhere. Internships with National Geographic or on the set of a photoshoot for Martha Stewart magazine for example.

Although Syracuse University is very large, there is still a strong sense of community. Even if you do not know someone personally, there is a good chance that this person is a friend of a friend or a friend of a friend of a friend, and so on.
