Some of the buildings are really old and should be updated and remodeled. The engineering school really needs a makeover.

The worst part about Syracuse University is the weather. During the fall and winter it is very cold and is often raining or snowing. It is uncomfortable walking to class in the rain and the snow and ice make it difficult. When walking to class I really have to bundle up in many layers which is annoying once I get to class and the classroom is hot. I have to take off most of my layers and there is no where to put coats and scarves and gloves that won't get everything else wet.

There are a couple of dorms here that are rotting away, windows are getting rusty as are the bathroom sinks, walls are getting dirty. i feel like they should renovate these dorms rather than building a new dorm, which they are currently working on. I just feel like they're going to end up bulldozing the old dorms and just making new ones to compensate all the ones they will eventually remove.

The worst thing about Syracuse University is the Centro bus schedule at night and on the weekends. When night falls many students have to walk to the College Place Bus stop to insure their safety. The buses run really slow at night and on the weekends.

We are diverse on paper, but socially we are segregated.

The worst thing about my school maybe the lack of diversity in the foods in the dinning centers.

For me the worst thing at first was the size of the university. Being from a really small town (and a small high school to go along with it), the size of campus and the number of people on campus was kind of intimidating to me at first. Campus very quickly becomes managable though, and you get to know other people very quickly.

One negative aspect of Syracuse University is that the school is located in the city. For me, being from Vermont, it has been a big change that has taught me a lot. The city of Syracuse is not very clean, exciting or safe; however, it does have the positive quality of drawing in events such as division I football and basketball as well as incredible concerts like Phish and Girl Talk. For some people, another negative aspect of the university is the weather. In Syracuse snow, rain, cold weather and occasional sun are all typical weather patterns.

The school is not very diverse in the people who are here. Ther are many different people of different backgrounds but most of the people are cut from the same cloth.

The class is predominately upper middle class, to rich, and even though there is a significant non-white population, it is predominately segregated.
