Syracuse University Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about Syracuse University? Why?

Nicole

I think they care more about money than they do about the actual student's education. They put most of their effort into the athletic programs because that is what makes them money. If you are a middle to upper class white student, no matter if you have good grades or not, it is almost impossible to get financial aid in the form of scholarships. Also the city is ugly and the weather sucks for most of the school year.

The worst thing about Syracuse University is the far walks to class during the freezing cold winter!

Nathan

In my opinion, the worst part about Syracuse university is the artic like atmosphere that manifests itself between the months of December, January, and February. I mean I am originally from Maryland where it does go below freezing during the winter, however, when you wake up in the morning and see that it is -12 degrees and your nose hairs freeze on your way to class, that just flat out sucks.

Lack of study space

Nakim

The fact that it is so ridiculously expensive means that my partents have to find money to pay for it and what they cannot pay for means that I have to either have to find scholarships or loans to cover the difference.

Ashley

The worst thing is how much fun it is! It makes it difficult to sometimes focus on my school work because there are always so many fun activities going on and the students at this school are very lively and sociable.

Emily

It costs a lot of money and tuition seems to keep going up.

Kenia

The worst thing is that everything is not in walking distance. You need to reply on public transportation or have a car.

Aiyana

The worst thing about my school would have to be that it doesn't have a big college town righ outside the school. There are a few restaurants and stores, but in order to get to other shopping, lively, or downtown areas, you have to travel by bus.

I don't like how big greek life is on campus; the statistic is that supposedly 30{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of students are involved in it but it feels like a lot more so that you feel excluded if you are not a part of it.
