If there is anything i wish i had known before I came to Syracuse University, it would be the amount of snow this place gets. But then again, it's not that bad at all if you get used to it. I liked the fact that it was a new environment to adapt to, somewhere far from the slums.

Harmandeep

I wish I knew how different life would be living far away from home. When I first came to live on campus it was a different experience. However, I believe I made the right choice coming to Syracuse because I don?t think I would have felt so comfortable anywhere else. There were certain time when I felt I wanted to go home and live there but the students, faculty, counselors are so helpful and understanding that now I am in my senior year here in Syracuse.
