Syracuse University Top Questions

What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about Syracuse University?

Kimberly

I am in the S.I. Newhouse School of Communications. It is a renowned communications school that has churned out big names like Dick Clark and Bob Costas. The recent summer hit, (500) Days of Summer, was written by a Newhouse grad. I also brag about the basketball team. The Big East is one of the best basketball conferences, and Syracuse is always one of the better teams in that division. We kick ass!

Sungho

The architecture program which I'm in is ranked in the top in the nation and there's a lot more programs in Syracuse that is ranked near the top. Also, the sports teams are really good with the basketball and lacrosse team always being ranked at the top.

Megan

When I first decided to attend Syracuse University, the student population was much larger than I'd wanted. However, as my freshman year progressed, I learned that you can make a big school small, but you can't make a small school big. That's one of my favorite things about Syracuse: you'll be striding across the quad to class, but then end up being late to class because you run into so many people you know. In addition, the alumni network and career center at Syracuse are phenomenal -- graduates go out on a limb to help students out.

There's a lot of diversity in this school- both racially and in student interests. Syracuse is the only school that I applied to that isn't an soley an art school. Therefore you get a lot of exposure to a very wide range of people and ideas.

Steve

The name that comes with going to Syracuse University as well as the sports and the amount of things that are available both educationally and socially.

Alexandra

When bragging to my friends about Syracuse University, the topic tends to lend itself to the classes. I love the homework; for example, I had to design a chair out of cardboard and hot glue that could support four hundred pounds. In addition, the chair was supposed to be aesthetically pleasing. The courses causes me to consider the world from new perspectives. Today, I considered the effect that the environment has on our emotions; for instance, when sitting in a chair, that experience influences our perception of that moment. While my friends complain about math, I have enthusiasm for art.
