Syracuse University Top Questions

No, though there are people who reflect the stereotype, I would not say that it is accurate of the university as a whole.

yes

A lot of them are, but you will also find some really cool people. There are also a lot of people here on scholarships, so you can find people in whichever group you are in.

You are going to get those kinds of people, but there are many types of students here. I've found that there aren't too many "regular" kind of people you'll find at state schools. There are more people on different ends of the spectrum, but it's pretty diverse. However, you will see the three B's: boots (Uggs or Hunters), bags (designer), and Blackberrys.

Like anything there's a little truth to the stereotypes, but the majority does not represent everyone. Obviously not everyone falls into the "jap" stereotype and there's definitely enough people for there to always be someone you can chill with.

Yes and no, Syracuse is very cold and it does get a good amount of snow but it's really not as bad as everyone thinks. The winter is manageable.

No-about one in four are in greek life, but that does not mean there is not a scoail scene outside that.

There are a million different types of people on campus- not all of the girls are JAPs and not all of the boys are the ones you see made fun of on College Humor. It is a big party school, the Greek scene is huge, and athletics are very much an integral part of the campus, but there's so much to do for those who aren't into partying or sports. There really is something for everyone- you've just got to have the initative to find it. The Newhouse program is hard to get into, not difficult at all once you're in. Syracuse is diverse, but it's also very, very segregated. People from different races do interract, but it's not super common.

YES, but there are sane people too

not really. alot of people are on scholarships and have an average amount of money, and only the frat and sororities are like that.
