Syracuse University Top Questions

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

Alison

I think the worst thing about my school is that our student body isn't as diverse as we make it out to be. We have students from all over the country, and all over the world attending our University, but racially and culturally we could still be more diverse.

Mark

The freedom of drama students to put up their own work. It's not encouraged to be creative and use your voice. The professors like to keep you under their wing and wait to be cast in department production.

Natasha

I would say the worst thing is the weather. It is so unpredictable! At the beginning of the fall semester it was around 90 degrees everyday and the dorms didn't have ACs...Then we had our first snowfall right before Halloween, which seems oddly soon. After several weeks of snowfall, we experience the Indian Summer period and we're hitting the 90's again!! After that we have the coldest weather ever for 5 months straight! I love the snow, it's great fun but, try walking to your classes at 9am with snow up to your knees!

Melanie

My school is racially diverse but very segregated. Coming from my home town to here, I wish there was more mixing of races. It can also be hard to find friends since it's so large.

Oriana

The winter months are sometimes very cold, yet still bearable.

Erika

The worst thing about Syracuse is that it snows all the time and our football team is not very good.

Gerald

There trying to be overly cultural and it seems to make more "non-cultural" students segregated.

James

The worst thing would involve the athletes. Since the school seems to be very in thier sports, athletes seem to get more privileges then regular students. They get offered many things that other students don't get such as free tutors. There are handful of athletes that take advantage of their opportunity and dont do anything but cruise through school, while any other student would be more than happy to receive the same benefits they have.
