What kind of person should attend Syracuse University?

Kathleen

There are so many different groups and experiences at Syracuse University that almost any type of individual can attend at find a place to fit in. Those applying should keep in mind we are a larger campus and have a large amount of students so if they are looking for a small school this is not for them. Come with an open mind.

People who like to party would love this school. Also, a lot play sports and love to exercise and stay fit. Many students are well off financially and also a bit conservative politically.

Amy

i think just about any kind of person can attend Syracuse University. there are all kinds of people on campus from very "trendy" people to "nerdy" people as well. but i do think, especially as an engineering student that the "nerdy" kids aren't quite as nerdy as other schools. we have the people who are very smart and very into math and science they just don't look like your typical "nerd".

To be honest, I think LcSmith School of Engineering is a welcoming place to anyone who wants to do better in his/her life and is prepared to be challenged by the intensive courses. To those students who have strong academic backgrounds, there are more than enough tough problems waiting for you to solve; while to students who are relatively not that good, they can also find timely help and make lots of friends with professors, faculties and peers.

Amy

Want a small, close-knit community? Enjoy homogeneity? Don't like change? Then you need not apply to Syracuse University. Only those who love diversity, dare to explore new things and are comfortable meeting new people and having new experiences every day should make the best decision of their lifetime and attend Syracuse University. Furthermore, don't be fooled: while Syracuse has a reputation as a party school, the academics are no joy-ride. The future student needs to understand that while it's nice to have fun, too much fun leads to bad grades or, worse yet, explusion.

Alynda

I don't believe that there is one type of person that should attend this school. I believe that any person that has a strong will and is mature will be able to strive well at Syracuse University.

Idia

A person who is very dedicated and hardworking should attend Syracuse University. The course load is very difficult , but if that person is willing to work hard and stay focus they will have no problem.

Suzannah

Someone who seeks good sports, challenging academics, demanding coursework, rewarding work in the community, fun electives, renowned speakers, and professors who want students to succeed should attend Syracuse University. Students don't have to fit any one stereotype, as Syracuse is a melting pot of people from all backgrounds, states, nations, and beliefs. Diversity may be its greatest strength, not counting the basketball and lacrosse teams. If you are not fond of snow, wind, or rain, then Syracuse is not the school for you. Each day, some form of these climatic events preys on Syracuse students.
