Syracuse University Top Questions

i haven't really found a major flaw in the university so far

There are stairs everywhere. Most of the academic buildings are located on a hill, so you have to go up to get to any of your classes from the residence halls.

The first thing that pops in my mind is food- although su really does have a lot of variety it gets very old very quicky. Also by not allowing freshman to have a car on campus the students are very limited to what they are able to do on the weekends. The city of Syracuse is dysmal and without a car the only events to do are to go to frat parties.

The worst thing about Syracuse University is the price of everything. In the bookstores, on Marshall Street, and even in the nearby CVS, everything is overpriced. Part is because of the New York State tax, which is of course, not the University's fault, but the other part is the University's fault. The augmented prices make the process of getting even the most everyday products difficult.

Students don't get involved enough if something isn't thrown right in front of them. Getting people to participate in clubs and events is really difficult and I feel like there is a lack of communication in this area.

The worst thing about school for me where distractions. You grow up hearing about college being the best times of your life the partying, sex. Every day it seems that someone is trying to live up to this cliche especially in Syracuse. Party's start on Thursdays end on Saturdays on Sundays the libraries are packed with procrastinators.

The lack of financial aid for students. The extremely high tuition.

The worst thing I consider about my school is students being allowed to smoke cigarettes on campus. I have asthma and I am on two different types of inhalers due to health issues and the smoke is not making it any better. I would like to walk around campus without constantly breathing in clouds of smoke in most places.

Binge Drinking and Greek life is a big part of Syracuse University so if you don't drink, then I wouldn't recommend coming here.

The lack of space to study because there are so many students who want to study, but can rarely find a quiet space. In the library there are few private rooms and plugs for you computers.
