Syracuse University Top Questions

The most frustrating thing is that we are required to live on campus for our first two years here and they do not make many exceptions to this rule. At a lot of other schools, you only have to live in the dorms one year and then can get an apartment. After a year of dorm life and dining hall food, many are ready to make their own living arrangements and cook their own food...but you can't!

There aren't many frustrating things about my school. It's a really laid back campus, and in the event that something DOES bother you, you can always discuss the issue with the Student Association. However, if I had to pick one thing, I would say that the dining hall hours could be a bit better. And even that is just a pet peeve, since while the dining hall nearest to me might close early, there is definitely an open hall somewhere on campus (so you're never really without food).

The most frustrating thing about my school would be the campus living. The dorms are old and the food tends to be repetitive.

I was sitting in a diner and a student was talking to her mom explaining her grades 1 A a couple B's and a C. The mom did not get mad at all. Syracuse has so musch potential and we could improve are rankings if kids just tried harder and focused on the right thing.

If you don't join Greek Life, it can be a little difficult to create a social life.

The most frustrating thing about Syracuse University is that we get snow 10 months out of the year.

The most frustrating thing about Syracuse is that students can be trapped in their own bubbles if they are not careful. It is very easy to forget about the "real world" while attending school. Though the news is available to students through free newspapers and TVs in the dorm lounges, current events are not a part of discussions students have among themselves, or included in topics brought up by professors. The university tries to promote Scholarship In Action, but the reality falls short. Being in a bubble is not good for anyone.

Not being able to register for classes on time is a pain. Hope that you have a good time as to when you are allowed to register for classes, because most likely you will not get all the classes you plan out.

Some people here are just plain mean. I know that it's not the school's fault, but people need to try and be a little warmer and helpful. Also, financial aid could be better - aka. more.

The most frustrating thing for me is that first and second year students are required to live in dormitory and studetns that live in dormitory are require to buy meal plans.

An obstacle I've faced at Syracuse is being able to access all of the resources on campus. Although there are many available resources that are beneficial they are not always obtainable by everyone. It is difficult to still attend all obligations and find time to receive assistance from certain faculty or programs.

My math professor doesnt teach to well, where I'm left better off not going to class hiring a tutor and studying on my own.

Probably money. The amount of money we have to spend on expenses other than the big things like tuition, housing, etc. like for supplies/materials necessary to do our projects, books/other things professors ask us to buy and then we don't use very ofthen, is extremely frustrating, and makes me wonder how a student without much pocket money could ever afford to learn in a university.

The cost of tuition.

students are not encouraged to do further work than what's been studied. most people show indifferent attitude to each other.

Places get over crowded extremely easily

The most furstrating thing about my school has been limited access to dorm halls during the day if I am an off campus student or not of that resident hall. I frequently go to visit friends in other dorms and sometimes have to wait outside for someone else to open the door before I go in. However I don't wait for too long at times as students are always on the move.

The most frustrating thing about school was time management. It is hard to put study hours, classes, class readings, commnuity service and extra curricular activities all in one calender. I just felt overwhelmed because I didn't know how to organize myself and how to take time off my busy schedule to do other activites. Mastering time management is key for a successful student life at college. It seems that its impossible to accomplish on organzing your time but it will come. I went to a time management session in my college and it really helped me for the best.

Syracuse is very segregated. Everyone hangs out with their own people.
