Syracuse University Top Questions

Someone who doesn't have their own opinions--you need to have a good idea of what you stand for. However, there are so many different types of people that it doesn't really matter.

People who are not focused on the work, or open to new ideas and interested in higher learning should not attend Syracuse University.

looking for diversity easily, some small classes but not all, those who prefer warm weather and don't like large schools, those who don't like hills

A person that is willing to work and study hard.

A narrow-minded person should not be able to attend Syracuse University. There is so much diversity within a "typical college campus," which does not make it a typical college campus--I guess. Over fifty percent of undergraduates live outside of New York, so there are people who come from all different backgrounds. There are people of different races, ethnicities, economic backgrounds, even different countries, who choose to attend SU. A narrow-minded person would not appreciate the culture SU manages to bring in every year through the undergraduates.

A person who wants to be close to home, continue living at home, a small campus should not attend this school. A person who dislikes loud people during weekends and night time should also not attend this school.

someone who wants a more specialized academic route...less diverse, in a more rural/suburban atmosphere, in a place that isn't cold.

Honestly I think that anyone could flourish in the environment Syracuse University provides. There are literally outelets for all types of people with all types of interests. And if someone is interested in an activity that is not offered, it is extremely easy to create a club.

Someone who wants to be in small classes. Someone who doesn't have much school spirit or isn't into athletics.

If you're planning on coming to Syracuse just to party, don't waste your time and (parent's) money. I've met a good number of students who don't go to class, study, or do any work; they're only here for the social life. College is about your future, and while it's good to have fun, there are many people in the world who wish they had the opportunities we're wasting by spending our time partying.
